Non-project Donations

Help & Shelter is very grateful to all those who have made donations in cash or in kind to us over the years. These donations have played and continue to play a vital part in supporting activities not covered by project funds and in providing much-needed furnishings, office and computer equipment for both the crisis service and shelter and supplies of food, toiletries and clothing for the shelter.

All donations – big or small – are gratefully accepted and acknowledged. We are equally happy to publicise assistance received or to respect the wishes of donors who prefer to remain anonymous
