The Cup Of Kindness
The Cup of Kindness was formed by our founder members in May 1931 and is the registered charity of the Grand Order of Lady Ratlings. Our current members are still working hard to maintain that original goal: to keep the Cup full and brimming over with Love and Kindness.
The charity gives to organisations and individual good causes. What makes our charity different is that money is given for equipment and specific items that are needed. Those giving to the Cup of Kindness and supporting the charity can be assured that their generosity is being used to buy some item that is essential and desperately needed.
