| Funders
and Volunteers
We are always in need of donations
large and small.
If you are a business, charitable trust, funding body or just
looking for a worthwhile cause to whom you wish to donate then
please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would be delighted to hear
from you. We would be happy to show you
round our project and introduce you to some of our beneficiaries. You will be able to see for yourselves
what a worthwhile charity we are.
We welcome donations of time, goods, equipment and machinery and
the all important money to help with large purchases and to secure
salaries for the staff at the project. Without them we cannot function.
We gained charitable status in March 2005. We benefit people of
different ages abilities and backgrounds. All attend on a regular basis and the pictures in our gallery say
it all.
