We are so grateful to everyone who took part, bought tickets, donated and helped organise, in any way, our TearfundRaiser which took place last Friday.
The event was the brain-child of Olivia, part of our Church Family so a huge well done to her for all her hard work and for being brave enough to step outside her comfort zone and do something she had never done before!
Olivia set a target of £2000 to raise and just prior to the event it was decided that rather than going to Tearfund’s general fundraising, we would donate specifically to their appeal for those in Syria, affected by the earthquake. Their partner church in Syria sprang into action immediately after the quake and has been sheltering those made homeless as well as providing everything they can in terms of clothing, food, etc.
Amazingly we smashed the target and so far, campaign page is still open for one more day….we have raised well over £2700. We hope this makes a small difference to people who have experienced such disaster on top of already living in a country in crisis.
