Huis Luckhoff

Home for the aged – Rosebank, Cape Town

Join Shirley Sutherland and the Cape Town Concert Brass for a special charity concert in Cape Town this Friday.

Soprano Shirley Sutherland and acclaimed brass band Cape Town Concert Brass will be staging a one-night-only charity performance at the St James Auditorium in Kenilworth on 5 March 2010. Proceeds from this concert will go to Huis Luckhoff.

Cape Town Concert Brass is a collection of amateur musicians configured as a traditional English Brass Band. Their repertoire varies from classical to jazz to arrangements of popular tunes. The band has its origins in the school orchestras of which many members were a part. Notably, most of the members of the Cape Town Concert Brass group were former brass pupils at Grey High School in Port Elizabeth and Cape Town’s Bishops.

This wonderful performance starts at 19h30 on the 5th of March.

Tickets are available for a donation of just R50 each. The concert is suitable for all ages and tickets can be purchased by calling or 021 685 6824. There are just 1400 unreserved seats and there is secure parking nearby.

Be sure to get your seat to this wonderful performance, make your booking by calling 021 685 6824.

At the end of 2009, in December we received a call from Woolworths who made us a very kind and generous offer.

Woolworths Piazza in Seapoint have added Huis Luckhoff to their charity list and have bestowed one day per week (Saturday), every week that Huis Luckhoff may collect what they call ‘date expired goods’. The goodies that we collect are all still quite fresh and ranges from salads and veggies to breads and cakes and even meats!

The foods manager, Bredon, was very helpful and excited to add us to their very full list of charitable organisations and we are ever so thankful for their support!

Due to the sad fact that some organisations unfortunately take advantage of organisations like Woolworths Piazza’s goodwill, Mr Burmeister, Manager of Huis Luckhoff had to sign and agree to certain conditions including: that none of the food may be given or sold to third parties – all the food must be given to Huis Luckhoff residents only.

To ensure this agreement is kept, Woolworths Piazza may decide to conduct site inspections to its charitable organisations with unannounced visits.
