Arrowhead Christmas Appeal
Please Read (and Share!) – this impacts what services we can offer in 2026.
Arrowhead is needed now more than ever. We cannot keep doing this without you.
Let’s begin with some seasonal cheer. We hope you are enjoying the coziness of this time of year as the nights draw in, hot water bottles come out (if you do not have one, you really should, they are amazing) and the countdown to Christmas begins. As always, we want to share how things are going here at Arrowhead and this year we have made some cool graphics to do so. Check out our funky images!
This year has been financially hard for many people. Funding environments are shifting. In April 2025, we lost around 15% of our income. On March 31st 2026, another piece of core funding, this one from the provincial government through its CAI funding stream, which we have received for six years, is scheduled to end. That funding represents approximately 20% of our funding! As community needs continue to grow, the loss of this financial support will have a significant impact on our ability to deliver services. If we can’t close the funding gap, we will have to reduce our hours to four days a week next year – we’ll be closed on Fridays! That’s a day of support, connection, meals, advocacy, and a safe place to be, that will be severely missed by our members.

We continue to apply for grants, but there are fewer of them and more organisations applying. We will keep applying for grants, but we are also reaching out to our community and supporters now, to help us mitigate this loss and sustain these essential services for those who rely on them. We know times are tight for many. But if you are able to give, even a little, you will be helping the most vulnerable people in our community feel safe, supported and not alone.
In our 2025 member survey, 97% of members said their quality of life has improved since joining Arrowhead Clubhouse. This is up from 95.6% in 2024. We think that is incredible.
Thank you for your time, kindness and consideration.
With gratitude, — Foye, the staff team and members of Arrowhead Clubhouse
