Last month just before Christmas, a parcel arrived in the Omega office.
It was addressed to Peter, our brilliant office volunteer who looks after donations of stamps, currency, cartridges & technology, which we can turn into money to help fund our work supporting lonely & isolated individuals.

We are incredibly grateful to the Garfield Weston Foundation @westonfdn.bsky.social, who have recently awarded us a grant towards our core costs! 💛💛
Core cost funding is really helpful to us, and this grant comes at a time when securing funding is increasingly difficult.
