Fundraising Appeal For Happy Tuesday Club
We have launched an urgent appeal to raise £17,000 within 6 months to support our Happy Tuesday Club for the following 12 months. The club provides support to a group of adults with high complex needs who require transport to visit our centre and other locations within the community.
Access to this service is critical to reducing their feelings of isolation and enables them to integrate with others members of the community.
The group requires highly skilled staff and volunteers to provide a holistic approach to their care over the 38 week period every year.
