Chairman of the Council is mainly an honorary position, but does have its obligations, one of which is to raise money for charity.
As a result, I am setting up an appeal for the disabled and homeless in the District and nearby Boroughs and Districts. As you may be aware it is the larger charities that get good support but the smaller ones, which are much less known, suffer. I have looked into this quite carefully chosen two small charities.

PARITY, a charity which supports people with profound and multiple disabilities, and their families, particularly those over eighteen years old, when most of their funding disappears;

THE VINE CENTRE, which gives practical support to the homeless, helping them with overnight accommodation, assisting them with getting jobs, training workshops and many other facilities to help them move into a more fulfilling life.
