Creativity at the School Craft Fair

A huge Thank You to the three girls from Year 2 in Victoria College, Belfast who recently raised funds for CCF-UK at their school craft fair.  This group of very creative individules made and sold a range of gifts from bracelets to decorated candles and cufflinks made from coins to Christmas cards featuring their own pets.  Not only did their efforts raise an amazing £173, but they increased the profile of CCF and its work amongst the school's pupils, teachers and their families who attended the fair.

While CCF UK has been busy recruiting new Trustees and Patrons, talking to Elephant Branded about a possible partnership with the Charity in Cambodia, and making presentations to Foundations, CCF in Cambodia is trying to raise funds for more buses to ferry the many hundreds of children they support with education, to their schools.  Check out the link below to see how you can help.

Meanwhile, a big welcome to Lucy Brooks who is our new Administrator - contact her on enquiries@ccf-uk.org if you would like to offer your services or get involved - and to Harriette, Maria and Lydie who have already made a big impact on the work of the Trustees.  We are delighted too that The Reverend The Lord Griffiths of Pembrey and Burry Port (aka Leslie Griffiths!) has agreed to be a Patron joining our existing patrons Michael Mansfield QC, Miles Templeman, Robin Blake and Sam Taylor-Johnson.

We're also getting together another team to participate in the gruelling 50km Thames Path Walk in September - so watch this space for more information - and start getting some practice in!
