In 2012 we supported these two well deserving local charities:
The Sussex Snowdrop Trust - http://www.thesussexsnowdroptrust.com/
Registered charity no: 1096622
A unique charity providing 'Care at Home' for local children who have a life-threatening illness or who may be terminally ill. Based in Chichester the Sussex Snowdrop Trust provides:* Care at home by Children's Community Nurses & Nurse Support Workers
* Emotional support which is met by Snowdrop Counsellors
* Financial help for families coping with the day-to-day problems of caring for a very sick child.
and
Brent Lodge Bird & Wildlife Trust - http://www.brentlodge.org/
Brent Lodge Bird and Wildlife Trust is a wildlife hospital. The trust, founded in 1978, is located near to Chichester. The Trust is dedicated to the treatment, rehabilitation and release of injured wild birds and mammals. They insure that as many patients as possible are rehabilitated and successfully released back into the wild.
We visited Brent Lodge on Saturday, Feb 11 2012....

*******************
The Charity Belles plan to become involved each year with local charities in the Chichester area and will choose a different project every year. The charities could be perhaps providing equipment for the treatment of women, which could be brought to our attention by the medical profession, or perhaps recommended by a friend, a relation or a colleague, supporting local animal health trusts, children's charities etc.Whichever cause or causes the Charity Belles decides to support, the overriding concern is that we raise as much money as we can, which would help in some way to bring about comfort, care and progress to a well deserving local charity.
