A message from Support Dogs
Thank you to everyone who has collected stamps for Support Dogs over the past year. HPC recently received a letter from the charity thanking us for our support:
“8th February 2021.
We would like to express our thanks to you for supporting our charity by donating stamps. The income we receive from stamps, although modest, is incredibly important to us especially in the current climate when fundraising is so hard.
Thanks to the kindness of people like you we are thrilled to say that we have seen a 70% increase in money raised for our charity through stamps in the past 12 months!
By supporting us you’ve done something really special. You have enabled a child with autism to be matched with the ‘best friend’ a support dog who be their safe place in a world they find frightening. An adult with epilepsy will now be able to live their life without the fear and danger of their unpredictable seizures. Disability will no longer define lives, rather people will live with dignity, independence and confidence.
We rely 100% on voluntary donation. Everything we do at Support Dogs is only possible because of wonderful supporters like you. Your generosity means the world to us, the children, adults, and their families we support and the dogs we train.
Warm wishes,
Tess Thompson
Community Fundraising Manager”
Please keep saving your stamps! There is a collection box at the back of church, or you can post them through the vicarage door – 14 Church Row.
