Funding Challenges in a Pandemic 21 May 2020
Our Fieldworkers have continued to be available to members during all levels of lock down due to Covid-19. This has meant changing from face to face interactions to a different way of delivering services via email, text, Zoom and Skype. We have been keeping members updated with regular emails and Facebook posts and like many other organisations we have had to cancel events including our very popular Family Camp. For a small organisation like MDN this Pandemic is going to have a devastating effect on our ability to fundraise for the services we provide. If you are in a position to donate to us we would be extremely grateful.
