Help Cheshire Homes South Africa by helping us to assist the 16 Cheshire Homes through SA for adults and children with physical disabilities
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Funding for the National Office Our National Office receives no government support and day-to-day costs must be funded entirely from outside sources. In addition to the operational costs of the national office, we are seeking assistance for the following urgent internal projects: Internal communications structure – our homes require computers, cellphones, internet connectivity and data to maintain good connection across our network and in rural areas. Training – ongoing training requires resources such as expert facilitation and consultation, travelling and accommodation costs and training materials. Travelling costs – we need to conduct regular oversight visits to all homes in SA, as well as overseas as part of the Cheshire Global Alliance which becomes very costly.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
