-         coach visits (only last season)

-         table selling local craft items (only last season)

-         donations from visitors due to leafleting hotels etc.

Group of people with learning difficulties in England (Christmas panto, donation box, coffee mornings, sale of craft items)

One child is sponsored

One family send monthly donation.

A little help from local businesses in terms of cash/kind.

Special donations to pay for certain things e.g. concreting the front, furniture.

Items have been left/ sent by various people from toiletries to games/ videos/ clothes/ curtains/ linen/ kitchen equip.  

A lot of the equip was brought over in directors container that had been donated/bought at charity shops etc. along with his family furniture etc. and personal effects.  

A successful meeting of staff/ committee members/ family members/ local elders was held recently, forming a small executive with the role of helping to develop Hart House.
