On Saturday, 4th January, at the Greystones pub in Sheffield, we were thrilled to host our very first charity gig, featuring the incredible Altonators.
But then… something happened…
Dig Deep For Connor and Hope English School!
Week Without Wheels
Imagine if you were only able to travel to places within walking distance. Would that limit what you could do with your life? A recent discussion in the Hope English School office made us all realise that if we couldn’t use our cars, or take the bus, or even hop on our bikes, our lives would look very different and what we were able to do would be hugely affected.
Baking For Hope
Do you know your choux from your filo? Are you a whizz with a whisk? Or do you just really love eating cake? Whatever your reason, grab your apron and wooden spoon and bake for HOPE!
This Refugee Week put your baking skills to the test and host a coffee morning in your workplace, school or church, or set up a baking competition with friends and family - all in aid of Hope English School!
When? During Refugee Week (19th - 25th June 2023)
What? A bake sale, coffee morning or even a "Bake Off" style competition - anything that brings people together.
Where? Your home, office, school, place of worship or community centre …. anywhere!
Why? Our Open ESOL classes are a lifeline for new arrivals, those who can't access college courses or anyone else who finds themselves falling through the gaps in the system. These classes are weekly, relaxed, friendly and offer free refreshments. The Open ESOL class is fully funded by our supporters and we want to keep it going! We are aiming to raise £1000 to keep it running for the rest of the year. Will you help us to reach our target?
Register here to let us know you are taking part. You can also download your FREE digital fundraising pack with everything you need to plan, advertise and run your event.
However big or small, every penny raised helps to open doors, create opportunities and improve the lives of asylum seekers and refugees in South Yorkshire.
Thank you, and Happy Baking!
Any questions do get in touch.
