We are pleased to re-present
favourites - Our regular series Developing Direction - and to offer
something new, too: a course stimulating ways to reinvigorate
prayer. Another new series 'A
Day With...' and our new, popular, early evening Open Soul Space
also continue. We'll be offering more introductory sessions in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
spring and autumn. Free events such as lunchtime concerts and
author's evenings also pick up again soon.
We're also recruiting: the post of Events and Marketing
Administrator (responsible for this email!) will be vacant at the end
of January.

Meanwhile, we've been earning over at easyfundraising!
|
|
|
|
The year is off to a good start with
the effortless earnings we receive from easy fundraising. Each
participating online retailer donates part of what's spent by our
supporters (once signed up) to our cause. Any purchase no matter how
small nets a percentage, and it all adds up.
We've had an email from easyfundraising reminding us that bigger
purchases net bigger donations (that figures). Such as holidays: 3 out
of 4 supporters don't know they can raise big donations when booking
their holiday online via easyfundraising. If you might be tempted to
give it a try, sign up to join easyfundraising before booking your next
holiday and see what your holiday could give to our good cause!
