THE CONSTANTIA UPPER Monthly Newsletter
DEAR CONSTANTIA UPPER RESIDENTS,
Welcome to our monthly newsletter, where we share property insights and highlight upcoming activities for you to enjoy.
As winter settles in across Cape Town, many communities have been severely affected by harsh weather conditions. Heavy rain, flooding, strong winds, and icy conditions have caused damage to roads, properties, and public spaces. Fallen trees, damaged homes, and disruptions to daily life have impacted many families, particularly those living in informal settlements. Animal shelters and rescue organisations are also under immense strain as they work tirelessly to care for vulnerable animals during these difficult conditions.
During this season, we encourage the Constantia Residences community to lend a helping hand wherever possible. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference to families, rescue organisations, and animals in need.
Below are some worthy organisations in and around the Constantia and Southern Suburbs area that welcome donations, volunteer assistance, blankets, food, and essential supplies:
THE CONSTANTIA VILLIAGE SHOPPING CENTRE
Over the coming days vunerable communities will need a helping hand. They would like to highlight the organisations they have partnered with and how you can help:
U-turn - you can buy vouchers and give to those experiencing homelessness as an alternative to cash. Vouchers can be redeemed at any U-turn service centre and are valid for a meal, a night in a safe space, a clean change of clothes or a shower. Purchase them from Kwikspar Alphen, Constantia Pharmacy or at their info desk. Donate preloved clothes by dropping them in our boxes in centre.
Make peanut butter and jam sandwich loaves for Ladles of Love and drop off at the info desk. They take non-perishables too.
Donate any petfood, new or pre-loved blankets, bedding or baskets to Animal Lifeline donation box at their info desk.
No contribution is too small. Thank you for always supporting our community.
TEARS Animal Rescue – Supports vulnerable communities and rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes animals across the South Peninsula. Donations of pet food, blankets, and financial support are always needed.
We encourage residents to donate warm blankets, non-perishable food, pet food, old towels, clothing, and any essential supplies that may help those facing hardship this winter.
Together, as a community, we can bring warmth, comfort, and hope to those who need it most.
Warm regards, Your Team at Pam Golding Properties
