FUNDING TO OBSERVATORY NGOs PDF Print E-mail

The Observatory Civic Association (OCA) has a limited amount of funding available to assist people or organisations in Observatory with funding for projects that will benefit the community. We put out a first call for funding applications in January this year. This is a second call for further applications.

The guidelines are:

1. The project should be specific, with clear outcomes;

2. Funding will not normally be provided for ongoing administrative or office expenses.

BETH RAPHA THREATENED WITH CLOSURE - FUNDING APPEAL PDF Print E-mail
Observatory Civic Association - OCA NEWS

1. Background information

Beth Rapha have been providing a much needed drug rehabilitation service since 2000. They are a registered NPO, and they are recognised by SARS as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO), which means that contributions are tax deductible. Their books are independently audited, and all donations will be acknowledged.

The long-established Cape Town Drug Counselling Centre (also in Observatory) approves of Beth Rapha’s programme and refers clients to them. They also confirm that raising funds for drug rehabilitation in Cape Town is a difficult and slow process.

2. Financial situation

Beth Rapha is currently threatened with closure (see the Weekend Argus of 15 May).

Mark your Wheelie Bins - New spate of thefts PDF Print E-mail
Neighbourhood Watch - ONW News

Vetus Schola has recovered a number of stolen wheelie bins but as the owners have not marked them they cannot be returned. This fresh spate of wheelie bin thefts is possibly as result of (stolen) trolleys being confiscated - also Richard the Thief is around again and is known to have stolen bins.

Those who have suffered this inconvenience know that it is quite a procedure to get a replacement bin

ALSO - please try and put your bin out for only the shortest possible time necessary. Avoid putting your bin out the night before collection

and bring it back in as soon as you can.
