Bede House
serving the community since 1938
Donations help us to:
- Respond quickly to individual need and to opportunities to try out new ways of working
- Reduce charges for those who cannot afford the full cost of a service
- Run activities which we cannot fund from statutory sources
- Try out new ways of working
For example….
Joe has severe learning disabilities, but does not meet the criteria for social services
to fund a place for him at a day centre. Stuck at home all day, he becomes depressed
and hardly speaks to anyone. When he shows an interest in coming to Bede, we invite
him straight away free of charge. We know that if we were to delay whilst we tried
to get funding he would feel rejected and lose heart even more. Soon Joe is involved
and enjoying lots of activities. He looks a lot happier, and is keen to chat when
he goes out gardening with his support worker.
Mary used to hang around the estate
after school. Her family didn’t have much money for her to do things. A friend invited
her to come to Bede, and this summer she went for an adventure holiday in the country.
She found out she could climb rocks really well, and it didn’t cost her mum much
at all!
