We work closely with partners to maximize the impact of our resources and keep us abreast of the changing needs of the community and encourage collaborative solutions. |
| Our Wish | As funding is becoming more challenging to secure, we require support with a financial donation towards our core costs. We can only continue to offer our services and activities if we cover our core costs (building overheads, staff salaries). monies to help support small groups would also be something that the project needs |
