Fawley (March 13, 2006) -- The Hythe branch of the New Forest Disability Information Service is now better equipped to meet the growing demands of those it serves after a donation of £1,000 from Esso and ExxonMobil Chemical at Fawley. This non-profit organisation, that provides disability related information and advice to all age groups, was finding it difficult to cope with the rising costs associated with the increase in demand for the service it provides.

Their telephone and photocopying needs have grown in line with the workload, and ExxonMobil was able to come to the rescue, and buy the new phone package and photocopier that the service desperately required.

Whilst the service is only able to operate from its Hythe office on Wednesdays, it serves the community during the rest of the week on a home visit basis. Rose Adams, a development officer for the service, said: "We're really grateful for the money as it has enabled us to continue what is a very valuable service here. We'll now be able to carry on taking care of the growing number of clients thanks to ExxonMobil."

Anna Holden-Booth of ExxonMobil said: "The Disability Outreach provides a much needed service to the local community. I'm glad that we were able to help financially with the growing demands that the organisation faces."
