New Hope is a charity based in Orissa, India, that the Club has supported for many years. Initially we sent clean, used tights which were used for leprosy patients to secure dressings. When leprosy became less prevalent we continued to support the charity by funding a hospice for HIV/AIDS children and cataract operations for the elderly. We have sponsored a schoolgirl and continue to send used greetings cards which they upcycle. We are delighted to have the opportunity of giving further support during lockdown and will be sending the hats in July so they arrive in good time for the cold weather.
