My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Our Centre was built in the late 1920s and, though we constantly work to maintain it, it is in need of a real uplift. We need to improve the quality of the children’s dormitories, making them more modern, warm and comfortable. We need to ensure our provision for disabled children is kept up to date and our play facilities stretch the children’s minds give them much-needed exercise. Every penny raised by this appeal will help us to look to the future with the hope that our children will continue to benefit from our holidays.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
