FANTASTIC FUNDRAISERS

'Afternoon tea - Ritz style'

Jasmine, Louise and Kelsey  who are probably our youngest reps in the country; average age being 13 organised a Ritz style afternoon tea in support of The Leprosy Mission. Invitations were sent out, the room prepared and the waitresses primed to go; all that was needed was for customers to come along; and they did.  Some decided to dress appropriately for the occasion which only added to the atmosphere.  £270 was raised for The Leprosy Mission and people were asking when the next one would be. Great job girls !

Cakes, cakes and more cakes!

After hearing about how leprosy affects families and their communities, Evie, Lucy and Faye wanted to do something to help.

'After over four hours of hard work, fun and a kitchen completely covered in icing sugar they had made more than 100 cup cakes and buns. These were then taken to Trinity Baptist Church where members made a donation in exchange for a cake.'        . . . more

Liskeard Methodist 'Bright Sparks'

group of young people spent a Saturday afternoon busily baking and decorating cakes, biscuits and buns and then sold them after church the next day.

This Coffee & Care Get Together was tied in with a visit from Natalie Husk, the SW Area Co-ordinator, to their Bright Sparks group, where they discussed the social discrimination, political injustice and physical problems that people affected by leprosy can suffer.

The Bright Sparks raised over £100!  Thank you so much: the cakes look scrummy!

The children at St Nicholas Church Whiston were hard at work on Sunday 16 January - cleaning shoes! The congregation queued up after the morning service to give the shoe shine boys and girls plenty of dirty shoes and boots to polish. Everyone was delighted with the finished shine they produced and all monies raised will go to support the hospital at Naini which is the chosen recipient of our World Leprosy Day fundraising this year.
Well done children and thank you!
