The Charity, for the most part, raises and spends funds within the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme. Funds are raised from the public in various ways and distributed by way of grants to deserving causes, mainly groups. The emphasis is on Special Needs, the elderly and Youth. Currently approximately 5% of our outgoings go to our International Funding.
