Would you consider ihAg as your Charity of the Year?

Recent times have proved beyound doubt that anyone can become homeless. It only takes one unexpected change of circumstances to put someone's home at risk.

If you or your work colleagues would like to support a local charity which makes a real difference to the lives of local people, consider supporting ihAg as your Charity of the Year.

You can receive a Supporters Pack, with information about our vital work, and a donation box for your staff room. Whether it's a "dress down Friday" donation, a "spare change" donation, or a "no coffee shop day" donation, anything you can donate will enable ihAg to support someone who faces the loss of their home through personal circumstances.

Or you could consider asking your HR department to start a "payroll giving scheme", and make regular donations straight from your pay.

Whichever you choose, "Thank You". Together, we can make a difference.

 

Share your top tips for Cooking on a Budget

We all have "go to" cheap and easy meals to make when things are a little tight.

If you are able, consider donating a small bag of non-perishable ingredients and a recipe or two, which are easy to make. 

Share a little, it will mean a lot.

How to donate

Please telephone The Chapman Centre on 01473 232426 to arrange delivery of your donation.
