The Meath Epilepsy Trust, a local Godalming charity, has been the club's main charity for the 2008-9 year. On June 1st. Jane Sweatman and Colin Stokes, both Trustees from the Meath, joined members of Godalming Woolsack and their partners to receive a cheque for £2500.
Jane said that the Meath was very grateful for the support of the club and the money would be used to help purchase some urgently needed transport needed to ferry residents into Guildford and out for day trips such as Chichester, London Eye and Queen Elizabeth Country Park.
Jane described the work done at the Meath, by staff and volunteers, in helping those with disability to lead as independent a life as possible.
Their mission is to bring normal life experiences to all no matter how severe their condition.
The 64 residents live in 7 units each with its own kitchen, lounge and separate bedrooms.
Residents are encouraged to participate in managing their units and planning social and sporting activities.  
The Meath is proud of their well equipped gym which can be booked by the public and their Art House which has achieved success in exhibiting in London and now offers a range of painting and cards for sale.
