If you need assistance in any way, or if you know of anyone who would benefit from our help, please contact us. (See below for contact information.)

How can you help us?
We are always in need of help. If you would like to join the club, or if you feel that you could help with our fund-raising, assistance to others, facilities, or in any other way, please contact us. (See below for details.)
We also need MONEY! To this end, we arrange fund-raising events throughout the year and ask you to
contribute anything you can spare, to help us help others.

What happens to the money you donate?
EVERY SINGLE PENNY we collect from donations or profit from our fund-raising events is used to help others.
Unlike many other organisations, we use absolutely NONE of the money for salaries or administration.

How do we decide where the money goes?
We meet once a month (except August -everyone needs a holiday!), usually on the first Monday of the month, at the Uplands Hotel, Droxford, Hampshire, at 8pm. Anyone is welcome to come along to the meeting, but please contact us beforehand, in case the meeting has been postponed!
