We put a lot of effort into raising money but the real value is in what we do with it on your behalf. Whilst we give money to help bring relief to international disasters, elimination of diseases like Polio, and substantial donations to national charities (usually focusing on Children's charities) we try and ensure that its local causes that gets most of our support.
At our meeting this week, we donated £1,250 to local good causes, ranging from warm coats to children who need them in Thurrock, supporting our Young Carers, and Thurrock Foodbank. Working in partnership with Tesco, we will give lego and toys to Treetops, Little Havens Hospice and other good local causes.
We were delighted to support the Parents Evening/Year 11 Next Steps at the Gateway Academy in Grays on Thursday evening and pleasingly, parents and young adults showed interest in the help and support that the Club can and does provide to the local community.
