Calling all Quakers - we are trying to find out how many Quakers are involved in Street Angel schemes so we can develop a support network and exchange ideas and experiences. Drew Mills is based in Hartlepool - but this thought was developed in conjunction with someone from Southampton - and would like to make contact that can be shared amongst Friends. If you are a Quaker please contact Paul and he will put you in touch with Drew. Eighteen local projects gathered together for SHINE (Sharing Hope In Night-time Economy) at St Saviour's Church, Guildford. It was a great day and you can read Paul's report on the day here. The SA-CNI Network AGM was held in June - the evening celebrated many of the things that are being achieved through the work of the Network and local projects. Part of the meeting discussed Membership of SA-CNI and the decision was made to automatically make every local project listed on our Projects page members which offers voting rights at the AGM. The only other members will be the Trustees with others who wish to stand with the work of SA-CNI offered Supporters. The work of SA-CNI is at its strongest with the launch into Majorca and the publicity surrounding that and with new initiatives such as Club Angels and the work within music festivals. Financially we are thankful to Lempriere Pringle Trust - Mr Jonathan Ruffer - for a donation of £20,000, to several local projects who have made annual donations and we are currently awaiting a decision from the Lottery fund. You can: read the minutes here / statutory accounts / balance sheet overview - SA-CNI, Halifax SA, Blackpool SA. Dude With Wings - the new range of dude with wings products are now available for local projects to purchase at half retail price. These products - greetings cards, mugs, key-rings, magnets, posters and wall plaques - are great for fundraising and as a local project you can make available at talks, in your base, at local churches, etc. Most of the products can be printed with your local logo and text.
