FRIENDS OF THE ARK 100 CLUBS

We continue to be amazed at the generosity of the local community and thank everybody for their interest in our work and for their support. We need to secure long term sustainable funding to make sure our work goes on and would ask you to join our friends 100 clubs. On joining your number will be entered into a monthly draw. The numbers in each draw are limited to 100. 25% of your membership fee goes to form the prizes and the rest goes to pay for our work. For a payment of just £2 a month you can make a substantial contribution to feeding and supporting the most disadvantaged and socially excluded members of our community.

LATEST NEWS - DAILY SUCCESSES AT THE ARK

Over summer we have given breakfast to up to 20 people per day; we have given a daily hot meal to over 30 people per day; we have over 130 registered service users and the numbers are growing week on week; our daily footfall is often over 50 people per day and will no doubt increase with the onset of winter. We have assisted our service users with housing, benefits, legal and financial problems, and have given support and comfort. Our showers and washing machines are in virtually constant operation throughout the day.
We believe our service has made a difference to our Town - improving our quality of life and our environment, not only for our service users but for everybody; putting the brakes on poverty and social exclusion and giving our service users an alternative to their current lifestyles and the support to help them through the difficult times that making changes can bring.
