Howdy Safers!

We want to say a big, actually a MASSIVE, thank you to The Allan and Nesta Ferguson Trust who recently awarded The SAFE Foundation a grant to help us with our work in India. Lovely people.

We also want to point all you lovely supporters to our new downloadable standing order form, which can be found on the donate page. Whatever you can give, even just two pounds a month, helps a great deal and means the world to us and our kiddies overseas.

You can also make a one off donation via our new chip in, also on the donate page or homepage. See, a little bit from a lot of people means a load of good stuff for little kids and their mums and dads. Like school and stuff. And teachers. And somewhere to go. And smiles.

Yeah!

Thank you to all those who decked themselves out in 1920’s style and attended the SAFE Foundation annual ball yesterday, we had an amazing time, and it seems you all did too!

Everything went off without a hitch, thanks to Hannah’s organisation skills, and although we haven’t tallied up the final amounts, we’re estimating we raised about £2000 for our projects in Ghana, Uganda, Sierra Leone and India.

Thank you to Maureen Owor, from TOCIDA, our newest charity partners, who attended and danced the night away with the rest of us!

We want to give a huge shout of appreciation to Ceri Griffiths and those who took part in Legal and General’s dress down day to support The SAFE Foundation and its projects. £860 was raised and will be donated to The SAFE projects in India and Ghana.

The SAFE Foundation ladies want to give a huge pat on the back to all those who came to the recent garden party in Dyffryn house marquee, despite the floods and threat of rain. It turned out to be a lovely sunny day, with plenty of fizzy wine and sandwiches as promised.

Thanks to your enthusiam, donations and participation we managed to raise a whopping £700, all of which will be making its way to our projects in India and Ghana in the next coming months.

A special thank you to all those who contributed to the raffle by donating prizes, and of course to the fabulous Baroque string quartet who played all afternoon and made us feel very civilized!

We’ll keep you posted on the next events, so make sure you subscribe and get all your little chums to do so, so that you can keep your beady eyes out on the safest site on the world wide web!
