We provide, and support provision of, facilities for individuals with specific needs (e.g. due to age, disability or financial hardship). Children are a big part of our community, so we organise special social and educational activities for our children.

The classes are inclusive of all genders and suited to all abilities. We have delivered meals prepared during the classes to older, isolated members of our community. The majority of our members are on low incomes, and we can therefore no longer rely on the level of donations previously received. We are applying for this grant to make our charity and our work more financially sustainable, so we can continue delivering the support and activities required by the members of our community during this particularly difficult time.
