CAN YOU HELP?

The committee is also responsible for fund-raising.  As a registered charity, we are committed to raising funds in order to be able to continue to offer the very best in terms of activities, equipment etc to the children in our care.

Do you have any fundraising ideas you would like to share with us?  Perhaps your place of employment supports local charitable causes?  You may have unwanted gifts that you could donate for use as raffle prizes.  You may be able to donate paper/crayons for colouring, help to put together costumes for the Christmas performance or use your skills or knowledge to help us.  You may be able to spare some time to join our committee or to simply attend our various fund raising events throughout the year.

If you can help in any way, please see a member of staff/committee.  We are always very grateful for your support.
