WAYS TO

GIVE MONTHLY DONOR

SPOTLIGHT: LINDSAY REID

“I came to know CLH Foundation through my work in the charitable sector, and was really
struck by the team at CLH Developmental Support Services and how much they care about
their work. They speak about their work and the individuals they support with so much
respect, passion, empathy and genuine concern – so much that they made me care, and I
decided I’d help them out a wee bit. I prefer to give monthly (to a few places...) because it’s
so convenient and I don’t have to think about it too much. And when it’s spread out over
the year, it’s easier to be a bit more generous.”

Thank you, Lindsay!
