As a community organisation, our strength lies in the generous contributions made by our volunteers. Our volunteers share their time and skills with those we assist in order to provide people with every opportunity to learn how to improve their household confidence and skills.

The SuperGran groups are able to provide services free of charge to our many clients/participants through the financial support of private philanthropic organisations, individuals and government agencies.

Total funds raised are used to provide services to SuperGran clients. This includes the infrastructure costs such as property rentals, equipment rental or purchase costs, communication costs, mileage costs for volunteers and salaried staff as well as salaries and costs incurred by coordinators, field co-ordinators and some specialist tutors.

A tremendous vote of thanks must go to all our volunteer supergrans without whose help and support there would not be a SuperGran scheme

A big vote of thanks to all the funders who have supported the SuperGran groups.
