Skills – We need your help!
Please let Sue know what skills you can offer, so we know who to ask for help.
Maybe you could approach your Rotary club and ask them to organise an annual event for us, or you could have a cake sale at your home, or maybe your know someone else who belongs to a club who can organise an event for us?
Perhaps you have family or friends who could help?

OMSTC 100 Club
We are delighted to tell you about the launch of a new fundraising scheme to support the centre. OMSTC 100 is a lotto with fantastic odds, and once set up it requires no time or effort on your part. Paid up members can buy one or more numbers which are entered into twelve monthly draws. There are no running costs, so a guaranteed 50% of all income is awarded as cash prizes, and all the rest goes straight towards the running of the centre. With numbers costing only £5 each per month, the income from just 100 sales builds a prize fund of £3000 a year, with the same amount going to help fund the centre. With three prizes a month, the odds are extremely good.
Signing up is easy please contact Sue for an application form.
