Charities we have supported

One that we support year round:  Jan Burley, our fabulous local, hardworking biscuit maker (and ex ERC guest who moved here because she loved it so much!) runs Nero's Kitchen Biscuits.  Using human grade ingredients she bakes several different flavours and sells them from a stall outside her house and posts them out too.   All the profits go to support Elpida Shelter of Hope.  Most of our holiday cottage owners buy from her to give to our guests and many of our guests buy more stocks on holiday and carry on ordering them when they get home!

Boomerang's Pet Foodbank are here to help anyone struggling financially to feed their pets. They know that the price of pet food, along with everything else has risen significantly and know many pet owners are finding it harder to provide for their pets. They never want it to be the case that you have to share your human food with your pets, this isn't good for 'man nor beast' with neither getting the nutrition required. Nor do they want owners to go without, choosing to buy food for their pets and not for themselves, we know this happens but it needn't.
