Fundraising
We are a charity and can only survive through funding and donations.
Information for Funders
South Seacroft Friends and Neighbours
are a charitable organisation established in 1986. The scheme is run by
local older people who help decide on the services we offer.
We provide a range of services and
activities for over 60’s in South Seacroft. Our main aim is to
improve the quality of life for the elder population.
Achievements
- Currently 300 people benefit from the charity.
- 40 people attending weekly lunch club receive a 2 course hot meal, raffle and bingo
- 60 people regularly have gardening services
- 40 people are registered with our chair based exercise class
- 10 volunteers
Evidence of Need
Seacroft has been highlighted as a deprived area,
with higher levels of ill health. It is thought that older people
living in socially deprived neighbourhoods may be even more prone to
poverty, depression and social exclusion.
