Donations

We are a community based, not for profit, primarily dependant on public donations and contributions.

As our profile increases we expect to receive donations towards the 'Recovery Community'.


Donations will also be encouraged via public talks by people in abstinence and family members.


This year we held talks at local Rotary clubs and the Lions. After hearing the talk both organisations made donations and we were the Havelock Rotary Clubs charity of the year.


Through this promotion, we aim to gain more donations to our cause and also create more awareness around recovery, the impact on families and the mutual aid support we provide.


A wealthy businessman based in Singapore recently reached out to us, he was impressed with the work we do with those in recovery and has offered to make us a donation. We will be meeting with him soon to discuss the possibility of him becoming a patron.


Last year we also received a number of kind Donations, some were from local businesses wishing to remain anonymous and also from members of the public.


One was office furniture to the value of £5000 from a local businessman that has retired and the other was high-quality art materials and equipment to the value of £6000.


We want to continue to replicate this success for the benefit of the Recovering Community.


MUTUAL AID DONATIONS


Following mutual aid principles all of our support groups, art groups and activities will be free of charge to people in abstinence but run on donation.


This is similar to how Alcoholic Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous work, so that all groups can become fully self-sustaining.


All financial contributions from the support groups and workshops delivered from the premises will be re-invested into the development and sustainability of the 'Recovery Community'.
