How Your Christmas Shopping Can Help Raise Money
20 Nov 2023
If you are doing any Christmas shopping online, please check if the shop you’re buying from is registered with Easyfundraising and select East Lothian Care & Repair Charitable Trust.
It’s vital that we continue to raise funds for the Trust as it supports Care & Repair clients by providing financial assistance to those who cannot afford essential maintenance or adaptations, which will enable them to continue to live independent in their own homes and communities. We have already seen an increase in applications to the Charitable Trust this year. The Trust is also involved in joint initiatives with Care & Repair and provided security lights & motion sensor lights that Care & Repair were then able to provide to clients free of charge. It’s the simple items like this that can make such a difference to an older or disabled person’s confidence, security and wellbeing.
The Trust receives no Government funding and relies on fundraising and donations to raise revenue, so every little bit helps. And with the high energy bills, general living costs and the current position with the private sector housing grants for adaptations, the Trust will be required more than ever to provide financial assistance to those most in need.
