In this issue of your Spring Reporter, we shine the light on the young and the elderly that your support brings into our care.

The young and the old are often seen as the most vulnerable in our society due to their forms of dependence on others. And it’s a sadness that both the young and old can find themselves abandoned, abused, and forgotten – by their families, and by society itself.

Now and then

Now – during our lifetime we gather much along the way.  Some of it can’t be seen, like our values, our wisdom and our expertise in living life. Once our life is over, these aspects of our life are held and treasured in memory by our loved ones, and others who knew us. But what… Continue Reading

No sooner was Christmas over . . .

No sooner was Christmas over, when parents everywhere started to feel the anxiety of ‘back to school’, and the costs of that – especially in disadvantaged communities.
