Charity says "thanks, that's enough for now"

This commendable step, highly unusual in the charity sector, comes after a series of particularly successful appeals. The charity acknowledges that donors’ money could be better spent supporting other charities, in particular 10 related charities known together as the Camphill Village Family.
