A donation from Tynedale Lions

Stephen Prandle, Chairman of the Lions of Tynedale visited Charlotte Straker House last week to meet with Angela Jones (Chair of the Fundraising Committee) to present our charity with a cheque for £250.

The Lions have always been a staunch supporter of the Charlotte Straker Project and we’re delighted with this recent donation, which will be put towards essential new furnishings in our Respite Care Room.

Our Respite Care Room costs £52,885 per annum and is completely funded through charitable grants and donations. It is in almost constant use as it offers free of charge short term respite care to those who need 24 hour nursing care.

Stephen commented, “We are really pleased that the Tynedale Lions are able to help Charlotte Straker, especially as their respite care is an important core service in the local community.”

Angela Jones added, “Thank you again to Stephen and the Lions – their cheque will be put to very good use, and we are very grateful for their continuing support.”
