Wheels for the World Fundraiser
In Ashtead, Surrey, Pam Driver and Karen Goodridge organised a Finger Buffet Lunch on Monday 13th October, raising £412. Fifty people enjoyed good company and delicious food, a raffle and a card and gift sale, all for the Wheelchair Workshop in Parkhurst Prison.
Celebration of the past, present and future
Sixty committed volunteers, staff and supporters gathered at TTR’s Team day to share what God has done, is doing and will do through and with each other.
Chief Executive, Jacky Oliver, welcomed the delegates and David Dawson, Deputy Chair of TTR, opened the event with prayer before the organisation’s different programme leaders updated delegates on the latest current developments.
After lunch, those attending the day were able to spend time in meditation, facilitated by visiting speaker, Carol Collier from ‘Same Image, Different Package’ – which is in the process of becoming an Associate ministry of TTR. Everyone celebrated 10 years of the charity’s programme, Wheels for the World, with tea and cake and the launch of a new DVD which profiles the latest successful work of Wheels’ team members. As well as looking back delegates were encouraged to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the charity and interactive group discussions drew out several helpful ideas to assist the charity in planning for the future.
