Shropshire charity hits £100k milestone for disability advocacy work
PCAS charity raises enough funds to continue services for another year
Shropshire PCAS (Peer Counselling Advocacy Service) has announced their success from their emergency support appeal, raising over £100,000.
The charity has supported more than 11,000 disabled and vulnerable adults across Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin in the past 30 years.
The emergency appeal was created as the charity was facing closure, however the funds have now allowed them to stay open another year.
Advocates and volunteers at the charity support adults with disabilities, such as housing issues, safeguarding concerns, social care, health challenges, and energy bills.
Tarrah Lewis, Business Development Manager says, "We are trying to get them on a pathway to a more stable and positive future."
Whilst the success of the appeal is received greatly by PCAS, they will still be relying on further donations to carry on the legacy in the long term.
