Your favorable consideration regarding any donations to Eric Miles Cheshire Home will be greatly appreciated. In return, we as a registered NPO and PBO can provide you with an 18A receipt for tax purposes.
Most of our residents get a small grant from the government, but that unfortunately covers only about 20% of the Home’s operational costs. About half of our residents can contribute fully towards their monthly board & lodging but the rest are struggling to make ends meet. This puts a great burden on the operational expenses of the Home and we are dependent on donations and volunteers to make up this deficit and provide excellent service to our residents

We have a ten-year vision to create a vegetable garden oasis with the following goals:
• Provide vegetables for the Home
• Sell vegetables directly to the public
• Pay our residents a stipend for working in the garden
• Have a chicken coop with laying hens to provide eggs to the Home
• Grow fruit trees
• Establish walk-ways (suitable for wheelchairs) and benches under the trees where visitors can relax
• Run a small coffee shop for take away coffees and treats to be enjoyed in the garden
