The Ann Harding Cheshire Home takes care of 40 adults living with disabilities, to help raise funds, they are selling Casual Day stickers to the public.
Randburg, South Africa (23 July 2023) – Casual Day takes place on the 1st of September this year and the Ann Harding Cheshire Home is selling the sticker you need to wear your casual clothing to school or work. They are hoping to raise funds to help cover the costs of running the home.
Cheshire Homes was founded by Royal Air Force pilot Geoffrey Leonard Cheshire in 1946 when he welcomed a man with nowhere to go into his own home. Leonard nursed and cared for the man, and a year later, he was looking after 24 individuals with varying degrees of complex needs, illnesses and impairments.
The need for homes that catered to adults with special needs was great, and before long, several homes were opened in the UK. The first international home was set up in Mumbai, India, in the 1960s. Not long after that, the concept spread globally.
Today the Cheshire Homes are a haven for adults with disabilities, especially those who have lost the families that once cared for them.
In South Africa, the homes are not only a place of residence; they offer many services, including day-centres, transport, employment and skills development, to name a few. Many of the centres also have charity shops that help fund the homes’ efforts.
Each home raises funds for the running of things and the Ann Harding house is selling Casual Day stickers.
“The Ann Harding Cheshire Home are again selling Casual Day stickers this year, and we would love to once again have your support. The money that we raise through selling these stickers goes a long way to helping us to provide the high levels of Care that we do at the Home.
The theme for this year is ‘Share a Smile’, which we find very appropriate as we are almost always smiling at Ann Harding”
Casual Day is South Africa’s leading fundraising & awareness campaign for Persons with Disabilities and is the flagship project of the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD).
