Group-related grants in 2010

Having regard to the income that has been received in 2009, the Council have determined that the Fund will again be unable to provide any group-related grants for holidays, activities, etc. in the calendar Year 2010. Consequently, during 2009, we shall only be able to consider and respond to applications relating to individual disadvantaged children and young people who meet with the criteria which are set out in the Guidance Notes re Applications for Grants effective for the year.

We need more funds in order to maintain our work

We hope that the information provided on this website will have helped you to appreciate in broad terms the work that is undertaken by us in helping quite a number of disadvantaged children and young people to get away for a little while from what is otherwise a mundane and restricted environment. But we can carry on doing it only if we are provided with funds. Almost all the funds that we are able to give out in the form of grants comes to us in the previous year from grant-making trusts, companies, firms and private individuals who give us their support.

But we need a lot more such support! We cannot expect that each year our funds will be boosted by generous legacies!

Please consider making a generous donation. Have a look at the Donations page of this website, and give us the benefit of your practical support.

Many thanks, in anticipation of your donation.

Use your Self Assessment tax repayment to help us maintain our work

The Inland Revenue have announced that, from April 2004, people who complete a Self Assessment Tax Return for the year to 5 April 2004 (and thereafter) will be able to nominate a charity to receive all or part of any tax repayment that may be due to them.

The Inland Revenue publish on their own website a list of the charities participating in the new scheme from which donors can choose which charity they wish to benefit. The list will show the name and address of the participating charities, together with a unique identification code for each charity. Donors taking advantage of the scheme will need to enter the identification code in their Self Assessment Tax Return.

We shall be most grateful for every contribution to our cause through this route. Please be sure to use our unique identification code - HAK43YG - when completing your Self Assessment Tax Return.

The new scheme has the following advantages:

With our thanks in anticipation of your support.
