The Skyros Island Support Fund: Winter fuel for 3 schools, the clinic and the nursing home

Skyros Holidays has an open invitation for you to get involved in helping us achieve our goal -- raise €20.000 for the Skyros Island Support Fund. The money raised will be used to help heat Skyros island's schools, clinic and nursing home during the winter of 2013/14, and there are many ways you can help. Perhaps you could use the skills you honed on your Skyros holiday and hold a cabaret, raffle your artwork, run a dance class? It doesn't have to be grandiose or fantastical, simple is plenty and direct donations are always welcome. Any amount will help the local Skyrian community this winter. Not to mention it being a great opportunity to get together with your Skyros friends and have some fun.

If you would like to contribute, whether through raising funds through group activities or making direct contributions, funds can be sent directly via . . .

1. Bank transfer. Email us for details at holidays@skyros.com.
