Fundraising
This year's two chosen charities are: CHARIS HOUSE & BUXTON MOUNTAIN RESCUE.
Charis House provides supported accommodation to help women rebuild their lives after problems with things like domestic abuse and addiction, and is the only such refuge in the area. It helps rebuild families, and also has a farm project which aims to get men and women back into work. See www.gnfc.org.uk for more information.
Buxton Mountain Rescue aims to rescue lost and injured people anywhere in the Peak District and surrounding areas. All members are volunteers, and the service is totally dependent on donations from the public. See www.buxtonmrt.org.uk for more information.
TO DONATE TO OUR CHARITIES PLEASE POP INTO CLARK'S SHOE SHOP ON SPRING GARDENS IN BUXTON (cheques made payable to Buxton Ladies Circle Charity Account). THANK YOU!
