Will you join the UAREUK SYRIA Bread Flour challenge?

So the Appeal is launched and underway. We are aiming to raise £7,500 in two weeks (by 5th April) which sounds insurmountable? Not if we all do it together with our friends, colleagues and communities 🙂

We are looking for 40 groups or individuals to rally their friends. colleagues & community and raise £187.50 to be one of our 40 Bread Partners.

£187.50 buys enough flour to make bread for 750 families.

A whole truck in 25 tonnes, is £7,500 and feed 30,000 families.

If we get 40 Bread Partners we can send with ONE NATION a whole truck of flour and feed 30,000 people in dire need of food and assistance.

35 people, 7 tonnes, 1 40ft Container

Thanks to Drew McCoy who filmed the container being loaded. Its honestly nowhere near as stressful as we expected. Any groups thinking of doing so we can send you the contact details to get connected to the people who can fund it (the container and the transport) and facilitate it.

 

40ft Container headed to Syria now

Saturday 5th March, 35 volunteers came and loaded up around 6.5-7 tonnes of aid. Container was funded by One Nation and facilitated with People to People Solidarity Group. It was actually a smooth process and felt good to get it all on its way.

We had had donations from all over the UK and also money donations, which we bought aid with, from UK and overseas donors.

Whilst we can’t help everyone in need, we can help those we can reach. There are so many people suffering right now, please do whatever you can (be it money or time) to help.

Breadflour Appeal Challenge – Are you up for it?

We are looking for 40 groups (or individuals) to raise £187.50 each.

Ok so we want to help 30,000 families in Syria with bread for them and their children.

Sounds insurmountable right? The good news is its not. We can do this!

We are launching the appeal today and we already have 5 of our 40.

£187.50 feeds 750 families with bread. £187.50 x 40 is £7,500 to feed 30,000 families.

Thankyou so far to:

1) Sheila Porter and friends
2) Small Change Charity Shop, Liverpool, L9 (Susan Martin)
3) UAREUK Foreign Currency Appeal (Batch 1)
4) Katrina Glassick
5) Alison Bate

One Nation distribute the bread to all those in need within Syria. xx

£1000 committed to Syrian Food Packs

So, we are committing £1000 towards the One Nation Food Parcels. We have these funds in place and this is for April distribution. They will be distributed with our logo on so people can know their donations are going to those on the ground in need.

This will buy 57 families food for one month each.

Once our Foreign Currency Appeal grows legs we should be able to start helping much more with this.

You’re £17.50 donation to us could feed a family in Syria for a month! Even if you don’t have £17.50 why not find a few friends and club together towards one….every penny makes a difference 🙂

Beds for Tilos – project completed

As agreed already, today we funded today 6 bunkbeds and 15 mattresses for the Tilos vulnerable persons/ family sleeping area in the two buildings there. £887.55 (€1115). The rest of the funds for 6 more bunkbeds and 9 mattresses has been raised by other donors in conjunction with Elena Pissa.

We have also sent some pillowcases and some toiletries for this unit too. Just some more sheets to buy.

Thanks to everyone who made this possible xx
