Your Charity

Yes Crawley (West Sussex) Residents Only

We have been Listening to YOU

 

For some time we have been aware that there is a desperate need for HELP in Crawley and wherever possible we have been catering for that need.

Crawley Happy Times (CHT) and Gatwick Diamond Rotary Club (GDRC) have joined forces to create a dedicated Charity and website to help the people of Crawley.

If you are a resident of Crawley we need your help to raise funds for those less fortunate than ourselves who live in Crawley that may need our help.  Maybe as well as donating you might also be able to spare some of your valuable time to help us.

You can rest assured that if you give money to Local Help Crawley (LHC) it will only go to worthy causes in Crawley.

Rotary is a well known organisation (Established over 100 Years Ago) with over 30,000 Clubs throughout the world and every penny raised by Rotary goes to the designated Charity for onward distribution. Rotary already have a well established relationship with the community of Crawley which will go along way to making this new project very successful and beneficial.

CHT has become a trusted source of local information on news, events and positive feedback for Crawley. http://www.crawleyhappytimes.co.uk/ has a combined readership of well over 50,000 on a monthly basis and is growing on a week by week basis. We feel CHT have their finger on the pulse of the people and therefore are a great source for hearing, or being informed of, needy causes which Local Help Crawley may be able to assist with.

As more and more people use the internet on a daily basis Crawley Happy Times is the perfect medium for keeping Crawley residents informed on what is happening in our town.

This is why CHT and GDRC are the perfect partnership for this new project.

We look forward to hearing from you if you feel you would like to be involved in any aspect of Local Help Crawley….a modern charity for a modern town.

Knickers to Zambia

Chikumbi School is a community school catering for children whose parents are too poor to afford to send their children to the state schools. Although primary education is free, children need uniforms, school bags, books, etc to attend state school and many are unable to go to school for those reasons. This school has been set up in the local community so that those children can still get an education. The children at this school need clothes; the sponsors we have send children’s clothes but no-one ever sends underwear. The little girls have to be especially taught how to sit down so that they don’t expose themselves and lose their dignity. The boys too have problems since once the flies on their trousers stop working they can be in a rather embarrassing position too.

We have been asked to help with this Crawley based campaign called “Knickers to Zambia” asking for donations of either new or good as new used children’s knickers and underpants for the children aged 5-16. We also need money to pay for the cost of getting them to Zambia.

Please help us with this very worthwhile campaign for Girls and Boys aged 5 to 16
