As you know, Dom is standing here today thanks to his own hard work and determination, and the support of Yeldall Manor. It was while Dom was in Yeldall that him and Laura started talking.

Funding for drug and alcohol rehabilitation is getting ever-harder to access.

That is why Yeldall's Good Samaritan Fund is becoming increasingly important for those who cannot obtain statutory funding and cannot afford to pay their fees privately. The Fund is financed entirely from your donations and really can be a lifeline to many who ask us for help.

Because of the Good Samaritan Fund, they have been able to offer places to many men who would not otherwise have had the opportunity. We never want to turn down a suitable resident through lack of funds and, last financial year, we have accepted more residents than ever without other funding.

Thank you for supporting this fund, and enabling more men to access our programmes and have the chance of a new life.
