How you can help
The Fund’s work is dependent on the generosity and support of many people and organisations. You can support our work in a variety of ways. We are a very cost effective charity - all our running costs are met out of our operating income, so any donation will go directly to a property purchase or to cash grants, not into administration.
Success story
“Tom and I would like to thank ARC-Addington for the kindness and non-judgemental generosity shown to us. It has not only helped us, but changed our lives. Tom had been getting increasingly taciturn and depressed month by month. We were both frightened of the future - an emotion that was very opposite to our usual optimistic ‘get on with it’ attitude. We now feel hopeful and can see that we do have a future.“
