Young man with some personal difficulties, supported by Social Services, has got himself into debt of £7,000, and is struggling to manage despite advice from a Debt Advisor. The only recourse is a Debt Relief Order, and he desperately needs to raise the extra £45 needed for this, as the local church has already gifted £45.

This amazing lady and mum, well known to us, suffered a severe stroke several years ago. She is only in her fifties, and struggles with her mobility and balance, and also with her speech at times. She relies on her laptop to keep in touch with people, for internet banking and for shopping.

We have to admit that August has been a month of highs and lows. There were work challenges and difficulties, financial challenges and difficulties, coupled with a somewhat disappointing response to the mission we are embarking upon by many. Even close friends and family really can't believe that it will work!

But, whenever we share our mission, and our vision, we cannot help but getting excited! And that excitement grew with the knowledge that we had approved the very first print run and the anticipation of the arrival of 5,000 copies. Finally, on Friday 2nd September 2016 - yesterday - 8 boxes arrived! We now have boxes of hope!

Loads of Legwork

But with boxes of hope comes loads of legwork! We now have to work towards our target of distributing 5,000 copies of 'A Little Bit of Hope!' before the end of the year. Our aim is to work towards a second print run towards the end of the year or the beginning of 2017 at the latest.

And it's Thanks to You!

It's thanks to all of you who have supported us financially, thanks to all of you who have supported us with prayer and encouragement - and we have needed, and will continue to need, lots more prayer and encouragement over the coming months.

But we still need lots of help!

Currently, the project is not financially viable, but over the next few weeks we will be working on a plan that will slowly change that. We are also looking at the possibility of developing a number of social enterprises to help support us.

And finally, we are looking at organising a number of events and visiting a number of cities and towns to seek support, and also to give 'A Little Bit of Hope!' to those in need in the area, and to build a database of organisations, community groups and charities that are making a difference in the community already.

If you feel you can help in some way, please let us know - we would love to hear from you. Meanwhile, please keep sharing our emails and / or our Facebook posts, and please let us know of anyone you know of that needs 'A Little Bit of Hope!' Thank You!
