For the last six years our friends Mike & Alison Wells have held a Fairtrade Coffee Morning at their home in Winsley in aid of the Neem Tree Trust and have over the years raised over £4,000, As well as serving tea, coffee and delicious home made cakes made by supporters, they also sell items made and designed by the boys.
Mike & Alison’s Coffee Morning was held on Thursday 27th October this year and a record £1,130 was raised in just two hours for The Neem Tree Trust! In spite of the inclement weather, the good folk of Winsley and beyond turned out in their scores to enjoy Mike and Alison’s hospitality, to support the charity and to spend generously on goods and tombola tickets. Over 20 local businesses donated fantastic prizes for the tombola thus encouraging everyone to buy more tickets in the hope of winning one of the prizes.
We would like to thank everyone who helped with the Coffee Morning as well as those who came along to support us and who made it such a successful event. Kathy will be visiting the children in India in January next year and she will hand over the money and will report back on how the money will be used to improve the lives of the children at the boys’ home and the leprosy hospital.
