General matters :
We make use of volunteers (not paid!) and are administered by committee that is answerable to a board of trustees as well as industry peer organisations through the ECF. Some of our operational costs are covered by 3 x key business partners that kindly sponsor/provide our office space, our office phone, our website hosting and use of 1 x utility vehicle for deliveries. Our members/ad hoc supporters chip in to provide for diesel and all other related costs.
We remain committed and determined to build our operational capacity to that what will increase our effectiveness, on an ever-increasing scale, at meeting genuine community needs – personal or organisational enrichment is not our aim! ALL aid received from/by the goodwill of institutions and individuals are channelled back to point of need only. Unbiased and apolitical in approach, integrity and transparency are fundamental to how we do “business”! We meet community (lesser privileged) needs! |
