The Ockash Trust is not a means tested but is a registered charity, but is a small but active group of local volunteers who work throughout the year to raise funds. Over £10,000 has already been given to help children and people in the Parish through events such as the Duck Race, Festival of Light, charity dinners and the Jubilee Party. Volunteers are always welcome to join, take on a new challenge and help the community.
