Charities we have supported2008-09
In the 2008 - 09 year, we are looking to support Solent MIND - which is affiliated to the national MIND charity, essentially providing advocacy and support to people who have experienced or are experiencing issues with mental health. We are in the process of getting in contact with them to let them know of our intentions. 2007-08
In the 2007 - 08 year, Southampton Rotaract raised money for Countess Mountbatten House (CMH), this is a palliative care service. It provides a specialist palliative care service for patients with advancing cancer, and for their families, providing all levels of needed care. The hospice is a 25 bed unit set in attractive gardens on the east of Southampton. Aside from palliative in-patient care, the unit also provides day care and community services.
2006-07
In the 2006 - 07 year, Southampton Rotaract elected to raise money for the Oakhaven Hospice - who provide care and support to terminally ill patients and respite for their families. Examples of the fundraising this year by Rotaract members include a stall at the Rotary Gardner's Fayre, various quizzes throughout the year, volunteering work and a Burns night celebration, regular activities included filling smartie-tubes with 20p pieces and a raffle for a box of chocolates at every meeting. Part of the subscriptions also funded the donations. |
