The school building work is back underway.
Thanks to YOU, we have now raised £6, 107 with our
Building a Bright Future Appeal, enough to resume some of the work needed to
complete secondary school by January.
Charo, our joiner, has made the window and door frames which
some of our older boys helped to transport from Happy House to the school site
just a five-minute walk down the lane.
Carlos, the builder who has worked with us on the
creation of all the building on the school site, now has his team in place
putting in dividing walls etc.
We will carry on with work with the funds we have, and in
the hope that more will come to allow us to finish without a break.
We are working hard to explore every funding opportunity
we can find, but we also need your help.
If you could hold a fundraiser, maybe a cake bake or
coffee morning amongst your friends; an event in your school, church or office
or maybe take part in a sponsored personal challenge.

and the Sewing Sanctuary at Marsh Mill, Thornton, are backing our appeal and we
will benefit from the bumper Marsh Mill Christmas Market on November 29. Caroline Bramhall, who founded Grace and Favour

vulnerable children – there is nothing between your donation and the project it
is intended for.
