St Catherine’s is close to many people’s hearts and without their unstinting and generous support our work would not be possible. Each and every donation is important to us. Here are a few examples of how people have been raising funds to help us to help others:

Airspotters.com, a Crawley-based company, recently supported St Catherine's by purchasing 500 Christmas cards at a total cost of £160, which is much appreciated.

A huge thank you to Andrew Johnson and his wife from Lindfield who took part in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run on 1st November. They drove a 106-year-old Eldredge, a beautiful little motor car that has spent its last 45 years in a museum in America and only driven 10 miles on English roads before the race! Despite the horrendous weather and odd bit of car falling off, they completed the race with just minutes to spare and were awarded a coveted finishers medal, as well as raising over £600 for St Catherine's.
