WE CAN HELP YOU - TO HELP OTHERS
From time to time we all get to hear of family, former colleagues, who wish to give something back by supporting a charity by undertaking a whole variety of events from Coffee Mornings through to jumping out of a perfectly servicable plane that is going to land probably before you do, on the end of a parchute to climbing mountains etc... NARPO Cardiff Branch have always tried to support these individuals or groups whenever it can. The purpose of this page is to provide an advertising medium for those participating in such events and details of how they can be sponsored e.g. 'Just giving .com' etc. If you know of any member, their families, or any former colleagues who could benefit from a bit of free publicity please let the secretary know the details for inclusion
HOPE IN MENTAL HEALTH APPEAL
We have received the following request from our members Mr. Jeff Barley, whom we are always please to assist in every venture he undertakes in support of others. This time is NO EXCEPTION so please take the time to read Jeffs inspiring request for your assistance on behalf of others less fortunate than our selves. I alway recall the words of one of my mentors 'There but for the grace .....'
Dear Paul,
I am asking for your help and that of our members.
As a member of Albany Road Baptist Church, I have become involved with a community project, 'Hope In Mental Health.'
This project serves to provide the essential needs for those admitted to Llandough Hospital Mental Health CRISIS wards.
Many patients often arrive for admission in a Desperate State, often without any family or friend support, some with nothing but the clothes that they stand in, and those clothes are so often so badly soiled that they have to be destroyed leaving the patient with nothing more than a hospital gown,
Our Project, Hope In Mental Health, (HIMH) provide all necessary toiletries, female hygiene products, socks, underwear, Jogging Bottoms and Tops, in order to offer dignity and the reassurance that 'someone cares,' as they struggle to get BACK ON TOP through professional treatment.
To finance our project, we provide from funds raised solely from voluntary donations and to this end we are holding a SPONSORED WALK, on Saturday 9th May and both Jane and Myself are involved. ALL MONEY RAISED, go directly into the needs of the patients, there are NO middle men to take a cut. .
And so my plea is this. Could you please bring this appeal to the attention of our members and beyond. My thinking is this, if each member donated just £1.00, that's right one pound, on the below 'just giving page' link, then our collective service to those in dire need would be met with kindness and love.
So I am asking, CAN YOU PLEASE HELP to raise money for ALBANY ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH HIMH ,by donating online:
https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/himh-walk2026?utm_medium=CA&utm_source=EM
JustGiving sends your donation straight to ALBANY ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
Thank you for your support! and can I say, There but for the Grace of God go all of us.
Thank you Paul, and thanks to you all who have it in your heart to help;.
Jeff Barley
