COMMUNITY SHOP & CHRISTMAS FAYRE

Many thanks to all who attended the Shareholders’ meeting on Saturday afternoon. There was an excellent turnout of over 70 to hear from Chairman George Dibben and Treasurer Tim Nicholson about the plans for refurbishing the store at the Trusty Servant and opening the new Shop at Easter. Much needs to be done over the next few months and the team will be making contact in the New Year with all those in the Community who have volunteered to help – the Shop needs you!

Many thanks also to everyone who helped with the Christmas Fayre that followed, especially Yvonne LeBrun and Annabel Bruxner-Randall.

There were some great stalls and fantastic teas!

MINSTEAD TRUST HAS EXCITING NEWS!

We are once again taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge.

There will be updates on social media with the news of the campaign

“I have a learning disability and I want to work”.

This year the Trust is hoping to raise £4000 between midday 3 December to midday 10 December, to help more people with learning disabilities gain valuable work skills and support them to find employment too. Donations made during the Big Give Challenge will be doubled, so overall the target is £8000. This money will go directly to the Trust’s Step up for Work project.

The Trust is very grateful for the support from Dom and Marion Young who are supporting our campaign this year, and Dom has kindly agreed to be a contacted if you want to learn more about how they themselves are supporting Minstead Trust and their Big Give campaign. Alternatively, you can go directly to the Big Give website from midday 3 December, to make your donation and have it doubled! Here is the link.
