I can barely believe I am uttering these words, but we are ONE OF EIGHT WINNERS of Vodafone’s World Of Difference award! I can hardly take it in, let only express just how much this will mean to Child’s i Foundation and our Home, so instead I’ll tell you how Vodafone describe it…
‘The WoD initiative is based around the concept that individuals and community organisations should identify what they feel passionate about and then be provided with the resources to make changes happen.’
Well, resources we now have! Not only do we get the invaluable endorsement of corporate giants Vodafone, I get my salary paid and we also receive a grant of up to £20,000. So far between us our incredible supporters have raised nearly £50,000 but we plan to leave in seven weeks, and still have a huge amount to do.
It’s clearly more than our core team can achieve on our own – so we want your help (yes, again!). Yesterday I met Craig Linton who has helped us with all our fundraising efforts, and he suggested I shared our to-do list on video. So, out came trusted flip…
We also need more and more people to join our community. This money is just the first step, we still need to keep raising funds, as well as utilising supporter’s skills and time – join us now at http://childsi.ning.com
I want to take the opportunity, though, to thank everyone for all of their work so far. This award belongs to all of us, and together we will go on to achieve even more incredible things.
