Money is not the only way to help

People rarely realise that money, although always welcome, is not the only way you can contribute to our children’s lives.

You may have a particular skill which you could put to use in one of our Arks. One lady, for example, started teaching ballet classes at an Ark. Another man, who is a chartered accountant, spent his entire leave from work at an Ark, sorting out their accounting. Contact us to volunteer.
