 THANK YOU! Street Angels - CNI Network would like to say THANK YOU to every single volunteer who invests into local communities through our 120 local projects. This year Volunteers' Week (1-7 June) focuses on saying 'thank you' to the millions of volunteers who regularly contribute to society and as SA-CNI we echo that, not just for volunteers within our local projects, but for everyone who volunteers. Dear friends, Once again thank you to those individuals, churches, businesses and local projects who stand with the work of Street Angels - CNI Network financially. As an organisation we believe passionately in local communities and as such offer the vision and logistics of the Street Angels model free of charge. SA-CNI wants to see crime reduction, changed communities and individuals from binge to better, people mobilised and equipped to volunteer through local groups in as many villages, towns and cities as possible in the UK and around the world. We have never made major appeals for finances and in the last financial year (2012-13) our expenditure was under £18,000 (see the balance sheet here). Other 'franchise' models similar to Street Angels - CNI can cost a local area several thousand pounds which is realistic when running a national network with employees who are supporting new and existing projects and helping develop new ideas and vision. If you value the work of the SA-CNI Network would you consider investing financially? As the trustees we are thankful to Paul who works full time on a salary of £700 a month and to his wife Jean who supports him to do this - realistically we need to be paying a salary reflective of the hours worked (and the finances run out next month if we receive no more income). We believe that God can and does and will provide but, as we approach our AGM, wanted to let those who support us and local projects know of the current situation. Many thanks in advance for considering any support you can offer...

Chief Inspector of Chichester District Police,Tanya Jones, praised the work of Chichester City Angels and Redeeming Our Communities in a recent newspaper interview and said of the SA-CNI Network on Twitter - "You have all of our support. Thank you for your brilliant work and giving up so much time & energy." Congratulations to Sarah Digby - who volunteered with Watford Street Angels and was the SA-CNI Network Regional Leader in London and the South - and Iain Mansfield who married in May. Paul and Jean, Trevor and Helen were privileged to be part of the day and enjoyed celebrating Sarah and Iain's new life together. Sarah and Iain are moving to the Philippines for 3 years so we wish them well... SA-CNI Network is working with Charisma Art to launch a new fundraising pack to help local projects to raise funds through sales of "dude with wings" greetings cards, keyrings, magnets, mugs, posters, canvas and wall plaques. All products can have a RRP of double the price a local project pay for it and the products are high quality and ideal as a stall alongside talks, at local churches or at gala / fete events. More information soon... We need to finalise room bookings for the 30th August - 1st September National Conference this month - if you are planning to come please ensure you complete a booking form and payment. More details on the conference is here and a Press Release is here - our thanks to Diageo who have sponsored this weekend and allowed us to offer the weekend at hotel cost price.
