Today we wrapped up the baseball season with Cobourg Police Service and Port Hope Police Service! The players and spectators look forward to this game yearly, as its always a great way to end the summer!

We are so grateful for our ongoing partnership with FishAbility Sports Club: Adaptive Sports for People With Disabilities! This summer, our PULSE program, partnered with FishAbility to offer a weekly fishing trip, providing many people the opportunity for safe and accessible fishing with friends.

Thank you to Cramahe Family Thrift Shop Non-Profit Inc for their generous donation to Music in the Square Colborne, Ontario!

Exciting news for our friends at Beyond the Blue Box!

HUGE news from the Beyond the Blue Box team:

BEYOND THE BLUE BOX IS MOVING BACK HOME!

The Board of Directors for Beyond the Blue Box have made the decision to not renew both our leases on King Street East and move home to Covert Street!

The boutique will re-open, and the barn will once again host an amazing Christmas Store – possibly the best one ever!

We are going home to focus on our fund-raising strategy and will soon launch our campaign. We look forward to sharing our new building drawings at this event!

As things evolve and news comes in, we will share it with you. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Thankfully, we have been extremely well supported by our insurance company and look forward to working with them until Beyond the Blue Box once again stands proudly on Covert Street.

We ask for your continued support by shopping at our 2 King Street locations (41 and 66 King St E) until October 6th and at our Boutique and Christmas stores on Covert Street when they open.

Our opening day will be announced as soon as we have a date.

We continue to be grateful for the generous donations you have given us. Your patronage and donations are integral to the success of our rebuilding plans.

Beyond the Blue Box has been serving the community since 1992. With your help, we have changed many lives and supported people with developmental disabilities for 32 years! 100% of sales we process stay in your community.

Please stay tuned for future updates and help us be even better than we were before the fire that destroyed our building in September 2023.

Thank you.

Thank you to the Cobourg Lawn Bowling Club and our volunteers Nan and Peter!
Many skills were developed and the bowlers had a great summer session.

We're in the final week of our donation drive for our Backpacks for Kids program, and the need has never been greater.
Due to skyrocketing demand, we currently have a waitlist of kids hoping to receive essential school supplies.
You can make a difference! Here's how:

1️⃣ Donate new school supplies - drop-off at our office 62 Swayne Street, Cobourg
2️⃣ Make a financial contribution https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/northumberland-united-way/

Every donation, big or small, helps a child start the school year prepared and confident.

Thank you for your support!
