“Many elderly and vulnerable people would be on their own, the help and daily care, home cooked dinner and companionship makes all the difference to their lives and well being. Thank you to all for being so generous to us and helping us continue our good work. On behalf of Crich Glebe Field Centre, may I sincerely thank the people who came to our rescue in a desperate situation.”
