DIY SOS - HELP urgently needed for the NCCCT
Posted: Sat 27 Jan 2018 1:49 pm
Our charity the NorthCyprusCanceCharityTrust is in dire need of help please!
The dramatic and unusually bad rainfall over the last week and a half has caused severe damage to the roof of our charity shop Heartbeat.
We have literally been emptying baby baths,containers,buckets, bowls anything we could find to try and catch the deluge of water coming down through the ceilings.
The hospital cannot help us with the repair but they did send a team of cleaners one day to help us mop up and also got us a man on a cherry picker who basically said there are maybe 30 broken/damaged roof tiles plus wooden slats have rotted on a flat roof which the ceiling has fallen down in places inside the building.
We know this is not entirely due to the recent weather and has been a problem over the years which has never been addressed and put right but now we are really suffering because of it.
Our volunteers have worked so hard this week in such bad conditions and even managed to OPEN the shop for a short time on Tuesday and Thursday but we are in desperate need of help.
DIY - SOS are you out here in North Cyprus?
We have had a 'man who can' to come and look at the sorry state on Friday and he is coming back to us early next week to take a closer look to be able to tell us of the work involved and to give us a rough guideline to the cost .Can any companies, builders merchants, skilled and unskilled workmen help us in anyway.?
It maybe that we will not be able to put right the damage as the costs are too high and it would be better for us to try and find another property but it would need to be near to. the Hospital to be able to get the footfall from it which makes Heartbeat such a good earner for the charity.
If you can help in anyway please get in touch with Wendy on 0533 8686078.
Since March of last year when we had to close for 5 weeks with the hard work and dedication of our Volunteers our takings in Heartbeat has increased by 35% without increase on prices.It brings in a huge proportion of the money we raise and we would hate to have to close it permanently.
Thank you - NorthCyprusCancerCharityTrust. - feeling hopeful!
