Another successful year for Cornwell Charity Crafts and our thanks go to Caroline, Val and their helpers for the making, setting up and selling of all the hand-made goods. Their profits went to our annual charity - this year Send-a-Cow.
In addition to the money they raised, church members contributed to one Christmas card per family and donated the money saved. We then added a contribution from our Missions fund to make a total of £1,020, enough to buy 34 educational packs at £30 each.
But it gets better, under government match funding Send-a-Cow were able to double our donation - so that’s 68 Educational packs!
The packs support the charity’s training programmes in schools, where children are taught about the need for healthy and nutritious food, how to grow their own fruit and veg on a school plot, and the benefits of working together.
Schoolchildren who have enough to eat are better able to concentrate on their lessons and are more likely to have a positive future.
