Current Projects
We work closely with Social Services to help people outside the remit of the Social Services’ budget e.g. providing shoes for whole families, expenses towards medical treatment, temporary accommodation for people at risk, donating monies towards Christmas gifts for children in need and many other schemes which the public purse cannot cater for within Social Services.
Our current President Mr Brian Belshaw, has made it his mission this year to concentrate in particular, helping those local families who require financial help with the purchase of school books and costs of educational school trips which their children would not otherwise be able to participate in.
We are presently collecting donations for our annual Christmas Hamper, and raffle tickets will shortly be on sale. The draw will be made on Wednesday 23rd December at midday in our Charity Shop in Coral Mar. All proceeds will be used to help our local community.
