Seven and a bit months since we officially opened and nearly a year since started this project has seen much funding by the Directors. We have a few regular supporters and a couple of child sponsors, who add a little to the coffers.

Whilst still in the process of registration it is difficult to go out and find the bigger sponsors that we need to ensure that our work goes on here.

We would like to ask all that know and trust us and anyone who finds this site and likes what we are doing, to find it in their hearts to look at the ways they could help.

Please take some time to browse the online shop. We hope to extend the range of goods available, with all profit going into the Foundation Funds.

Please consider joining the ‘Because You Care Club’ and let us send special greetings to your loved ones on their Birthdays. Or perhaps you would like to become a sponsor for one of our children and get personalised updates on their progress, exchange letters , gifts etc.

You can donate online using the button on the right of the page.

Maybe, if you have the time and inclination, you could join our Australian friends, Faa Gamma, and organise a fund raising team and get your efforts featured on this site.

As the old saying goes, every little bit helps.

If you would like to fund something in particular please take a look at our wishlist.

Everyone here at Stratton House thanks you for your interest and any help you may be able to give.

 

DSCF5126Due to heavy colds we didn’t go swimming this weekend so on site activity was called for.

A great liking for art already established we decided to try the children at producing some seasonal greeting cards.

Using some simple designs taken from the internet we set the children to work with felt tips, latex glue and tinsel, with some great results.

This proved such a popular activity that we now hope to establish a range of greeting cards for purchase in our, soon to open, on-line  shop.

Because we are only caring for 3 children at the moment and the activity is on a totally voluntary basis, the volume of original handmade selections will be limited but we also hope to soon be in a position to produce quality prints of the originals.

DSCF5122These will be on sale at bargain prices.  They may well be too late for use this year, with Christmas so near and postal services under the usual seasonal strain. But hey!…why not think ahead and have that extra special card to send next year?

In the same vein we hope to use prints of the best of the childrens general artwork to extend the range with cards for all occassions.

The general art work will also be available as  A4 poster prints.

For connoisseurs amongst you, although none of the designs are Picasso or Renoir standard, in my eyes, they are none the less beautiful because each one is done with heart and soul by children who are deserving of the nurturing care that you can help us provide.

DSCF5128With a view to  producing an ongoing line of cards we would like to welcome you to a preview of the first offerings in the ‘Because You Care’ range.
