President's Newsletter – October 2016
Dear Member,
I’m delighted to announce that Working Chance has been selected to take part in the Big Give Christmas challenge, the UK’s largest match funding campaign. Every donation made to Working Chance (up to the value of £10,000) will be DOUBLED during the 3 days of the campaign.
The Big Give Christmas Challenge runs for 72 hours ONLY starting at 12 midday on 29 November. Donations made at this time will be matched by the Pilgrim Trust - one of their generous funders. This is the best possible time this year to give to Working Chance!
Working Chance aims to raise £10,000 in that 3 days for a series of debt management workshops to help some of the most vulnerable women they work with. This can enable women to get back on their feet financially, to avoid eviction and support their children.
How you can help
If you plan on supporting Working Chance this year (or at our Winter Drinks on 18th January) , please do so during the Christmas Challenge when your donation can be doubled. Go to the Working Chance donation page
Please make a note in your diary now including this link Big Give. Sharing this message with people you know could amplify the impact of your support even further.
If we pull together now to support women through their most vulnerable time, we can make a huge difference to their lives and the prospects for their children.
Thank you for taking action with us.
Best wishes,
Sandy Lucas
President
