It costs the Society an average of $43,000 a month to operate our programme at Melrose Home.

       About a quarter of the total expenses is given as a grant by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports based on the number of children in residence. The Society has to raise the remaining portion of the expenses.

        The Society appreciates the goodwill and generosity of corporations, foundations, other organisations, and individual citizens and persons for their support and assistance in helping the Society run its programme.

        The Society does its own fund raising but maintains a link with the Community Chest for future expansion projects.
