Public benefits
We help to provide food and clothing to alleviate hunger and poverty to those who live in or near to the institutions that we support in Eastern Europe. We also help to give lifeskills to those people and this in turn will help them as they seek to move out beyond their current environment and seek further education and employment therefore
improving their wellbeing and quality of life. We help provide Nursery/preschool facilities as well as early years learning to many children in Eastern Europe, India and Pakistan. Many of these facilities are also used as after school homework clubs where evening meals are provided. This helps educate and feed many needy children and gives them increased opportunity to improve their lives through education. We try to alleviate poverty at home by providing furniture and household items to broken families who are then able to use their limited finances to better effect. These benefits can be demonstrated by testimonials from recipients that are published in our magazines and by the regular attendances at the centres that we support. Private benefit or harm - Children and young people are clothed and fed at many of our supported facilities. Some of the facilities have benefitted from building teams who have made improvements to the fabric of the buildings but all of this work is undertaken to improve the facilities so that all those who attend will benefit from the improvements and have better conditions in which to learn, eat and mix socially with others thereby improving their quality of life.
