 Following our unsuccessful Lottery funding bid the Trustees of CNI Network are inviting local projects, friends, churches and businesses to become more involved in financing our work. The need for a Network and people working on this full time has been evident over the last month and has:
Ideally we are looking for around £4000 per month which would enable Paul and Jean to both work full time on CNI Network and enable us to develop some of the new ideas such as the accredited training, Club Angels, support for delivering the alcohol and safety education resource, organising further conferences, expansion into Europe, purchasing flip-flops centrally, etc. Please can we ask you to prayerfully consider how you stand with CNI Network - for more information: Local Projects CNI Corporate Angel Double a tenner! We also have the opportunity to match fund donations of up to £10 made via LocalGiving on 15th October. This also applies for monthly donations of £10 for 6 months set up via the site. Information is here and the LocalGiving web site is here. Please would you consider making a donation via LocalGiving towards the work of CNI network on 15th October. Many thanks Trevor, Steve, Sara and Andy - trustees CNI Network
It is great to hear from many of those at the conference as to how they are increasing the work they do within local communities. From setting up the YourNight app, highlighting the need for polycarbonate over glass within local meetings, inviting vicars to join patrols, looking at Wash My Pink Jumper, beginning to look at street grooming issues and offering the 'Who are the Street Angels?' comic at freshers week - the conference is making big impacts UK wide! You can read more about the weekend with links to the organisations who presented on this page. The 'Street Angels - the amazing story from binge to better' eBook is selling well on Kindle and as a PDF. This eBook tells the exciting and powerful story of Street Angels as it has grown and expanded across the UK and Europe as well as the Dundee Street Chaplains and Belfast NightLight stories who have run for 13 and 19 years respectively. See more and purchase the book here. Over the last four weeks we have received several requests for media coverage of our work, these include: Songs of Praise BBC1; BBC Radio Leeds; BBC Radio Oxford; BBC Oxford TV; BBC Breakfast; ITV's Daybreak; BBC Yorkshire regional show; TV Production company for BBC3; TV Production company for Channel 5; Russian One TV; BBC Look North; BBC Radio 5 Live; BBC Radio Tees; BBC Radio Lincolnshire; Belgium RTBF channel; dpa Deutsche Presse-Agentur; as well as several local and regional newspapers. Please pray for those involved in this (projects and the production team) and for the good news of changed communities and people through our work to continually be broadcast. The "drunk tank" idea offered us much publicity and media interest and we will join in this debate where we can. CNI Network has begun to map the work and opportunities for night-time mission across Europe - you can see more here. There is also opportunity for Rachel Scott from The Living Room to share to groups of ages 20-30 about mission work with The Living Room in Tenerife - more information andfor details on how to book Rachel between October and March are here. "Who are the Street Angels?" is a fantastic comic book now available free for local projects thanks to sponsorship of the printing from UCB. Designed by Steve Beckett - designer with The Beano comic and volunteer with Street Angels in North East Lincolnshire - the comic is great for giving away on the streets, at talks, at fresher events, etc. Each local CNI project can have 50 comics free (postage £4.00 for the bundle of 50) - email Paul to receive yours. If churches or organisations in your area are organising a Christmas Fair why not consider booking a stall to promote the work of your local project and sell the 'dudes with wings' products as a way of raising money? The range includes greetings cards, mugs, magnets, keyrings and posters and are also ideal for leaving out on a table if you carry out a talk on the work of your project to local churches, ladies luncheon groups, Rotary, etc. Your project purchases the items for half the suggested selling price.
