Welfare Projects
Most clubs make a basic decision as to the composition of their welfare program based upon how much money they can raise through Fund Raising. If they can make a reasonable amount then the Welfare program usually consists of donations of money or equipment to local charities and other good causes.
If a club can only raise limited funds, then the Welfare program tends to be more hands on, providing practical assistance rather than via donations.
At Farnborough we try to do a combination of both. Over 95% of the money we raise is used locally. A small percentage goes to fund international projects such as our ongoing sight preservation program and disaster relief programs.
We have in recent months donated funds to:
The donation of 295 refurbished computers in 2020 to families in Farnborough for their children's home education. Details here
A donation to Step by Step to help shelter, accommodate and feed 5 homeless young people at Christmas.
