Our chosen Charity for 2023 is the South East Charity Centre. The Centre is next door to Tescos in Purley. The charity provides councelling, one to one therapies, support groups and outreach services for those affected by cancer.
The Centre started as a small group in 1983, meeting in a private home. With expansion it became a registered charity and the Centre was established in its current premises. There are now over 300 members attending the Centre, three staff members and the volunteers play an essential role in the running of the Centre and the provision of services. Training is given to volunteers to help them with their work. The Centre is mainly funded by voluntary donations and legacies and can help volunteers to organise fund raising events.
