ANNUAL FUNDRAISERS
ARCHIVE
- M.A.D Flood Appeal
The recent floods in our local area have been nothing short of devastating with many people losing their homes, cars and belongings. Brigadoon Holiday Park at North Haven has been devastated by these floods with 96 permanent residents suffering extensive damage to their homes and losing the majority of their possessions. Most are in their 80's and 90's and don't have any funds to rebuild or purchase new items. Homes require extensive repairs prior to re-occupation and some are beyond repair. There is an urgent need for washing machines and fridges for residents who are due to move back into their homes once the repairs are complete. Contribute to the appliance drive or make a donation here.
