Christian Aid Week 11th To 18th May – The Results!
CHRISTIAN AID WEEK 11TH TO 18TH MAY – THE RESULTS
This year we have been really excited by the response to Christian Aid Week. We had concerns that our target of £3,000 (including gift aid) may be beyond what was achievable in one week. How wrong we were!
This year you joined in with the challenges, gave your time and donations. These included:
- Donation envelopes circulated throughout the village, which were returned to the designated collection points accordingly raising £1604 (including gift aid).
- The Sponsored silence challenge for adults with some undertaking this in Gwenfo library raising £482 including gift aid.
- Gwenfo school raising the sum of £700.95 (including gift aid) by taking part in the sponsored silence and a non-uniform day. A truly magnificent effort.
- The Cake, Cake, and More Cake event was as popular as usual, raising £422.17. I am sure the calorie intake in the village that day was also raised!
- Sully contributed by collecting donations and selling hanging baskets raising £411.14.
- The collection at the Maundy service of £145 was donated, and
- An additional £10 donations brought the total to £3775.26 (including gift aid)
And so, many thanks to all the envelop deliverers, bunting and poster hangers, photocopiers, those keeping silent and the teachers who helped in the school, the bakers and those who served refreshments, those who cleared up and the counters of all the money raised. We couldn’t have done it without any of you.
Also, remembering all of who gave cakes or money, or came and took part in the events.
Thank you,
Jude Billingham
