Supporting charities that help people

The Ark Pastoral Care and Christian FellowshipTech-Pro Ltd. is a Patron of The ARK, a French association similar in status to an English charity, which provides pastoral care and Christian fellowship to members of the English speaking communities in the Var region of Provence in the south of France who are in need of compassionate help and personal support.

Julian and Olga became aware of the work of The Ark whilst on holiday in the south of France, staying in a gite run by Peter and Shirley Massey called Arc-en-Provence.

Peter is a Christian Minister and Shirley formerly worked as a Care Nurse. They started The Ark after Peter was working in the area and felt this was his calling. Cockermouth Flooding November 2009Julian and Olga have witnessed at first hand Peter and Shirley's sense of vocation and the selfless dedication and kindness with which they carry it out. 100% of all donations to The Ark are spent on providing help. There are no administrative fees or salaried posts.

Tech-Pro Ltd. has also donated £250 to the Cockermouth Rotary Club Charitable Trust fund to help citizens of our home town who have lost their homes and possessions as a result of the terrible floods of 19th/20th November 2009.
