Help for The Shelter

A feature of The Shelter’s movie premiere was a draw of door prizes donated by The Village Superstores, Arnim’s Framing, AMCO, Unilever, Ian Rooks and Abigail Sabeeney.

The organisation also received support for the purchase of tickets from Guardian Group, First Citizens and UM Bulk Trading.

The Shelter’s chairman Anthony M Inglefield thanked sponsors and donors who continue to provide a sanctuary to victims of domestic violence and their children.

He also thanked everyone who played a part in making the event a success and to patrons for their support, said a media release.

Established in 1987, The Shelter was formed in response to a growing awareness of domestic violence and a greater need for support for victims.

As a registered charity, it is run by an elected board of volunteers and is operated through its own fund-raising initiatives.
