National Donor Family Gathering

There are still places available for this year’s National Gathering for Donor Families. The day takes place on Saturday 4th July at Tally Ho Sports and Conference Centre in Birmingham from 9.30 to 4pm. The Donor Family Network AGM takes place at 4.30pm on the same day to which everyone is invited.
The day is free including lunch, refreshments and all the workshops. The day consists of workshops including children’s craft workshops, exhibitions, and a special ceremony of recognition. This is a unique opportunity to meet other donor families who have been through similar experiences and a way to make new friends.
The annual service of hope and thanksgiving is held the following day, Sunday 5th July, at St Margaret’s Church Chapel Lane Great Barr at 2pm and we hope you will be able to attend.

What Next?

Well, Coffee-Raise month is over - my event raised over £160 so a big thank you to everyone for their generosity. We'll wait and see who else held events and how much was raise in total.
Now its time to finalise the plans for our next events - the National Gathering and Service in July. The National Gathering takes place on Saturday 4th July and includes workshops, a service of recognition and a chance for donor families to meet. The Precious Gift service of hope and thanksgiving takes place the next day and is always well attended event. Don't forget to put the dates in your diary and let us know if you are coming to the gathering.

I've booked my coffee-rasie event - have you?

My Coffee-Raise event is on Tuesday 19th May at St Nicolas Church, Kings Norton, Birmingham from 2- 4pm. I've ordered balloons and stickers and pens and leaflets so I'm all set. Do come and join me if you are in Birmingham.
Don't forget to organise your own event and help raise funds for the Network.
