Stickies film morning well attended...
Romance Academy deliver ‘Priceless’...
On Saturday 25th May we held a film morning for families from Sticky Fingers. We had over 100 children come and enjoy our screening of Monsters Inc. It was such a success that we’ll be doing it again on Saturday 6th July. Keep an eye on the website for more details nearer the time.
Our Romance Academy is working with young people from Harmonize Academy in Anfield. ‘Priceless’ is a course designed for the girls which looks at self-esteem and identity and the boys have a similar course titled ‘Man-up’. Both courses are running over the next 6 weeks at Frontline Centre.
Parenting course proving a hit...
Love Congo trip in planning stages...
We have been running a parenting course through our Family Matters project for a number of weeks. The course has been attended by 11 individual parents, one of whom said: “It’s been great to realise I’m not alone in having a spirited child!”
We will once again be sending a team to the DR Congo this year to continue the links we have made with local churches and charities in Butembo. The 2 week trip is planned for October. If you would like to receive more updates about our work in the Congo please email lovecongo@imagineiftrust.org
Super Supper Club begins! Nathan, 10, and Anya, 8, inspired by MP Luciana Berger’s recent campaign to tackle Food Poverty, have come up with
Super Supper Club
their own fundraising idea to help support Foodbanks. Super Supper Club is a simple idea whereby a family, couple or individual substitute one evening meal a week/fortnight/month for a super cheap supper. They then donate the difference to their local Foodbank!
Making Meals Count
It’s called Super Supper because, by making the switch and donating, members are doing something super via their
Text SUSC13 £2 / £5 / £10 to 70070 to donate now
supper! So why not give it a go?
eg SUSC13 £5
Nathan and Anya have set up a Just Giving page where anyone can have a go at home and donate the difference between their ordinary meal and their super cheap supper. You can also get involved with your mobile phone by sending a text with the code ‘SUSC13 £2/£5 or £10’ to 70070.
