Our friends at Holy Trinity School, Walsall following our CEO Ben Udejiofo's visit back in January when he was so warmly received has drank their bottled water. They have filled the empty bottles with loose change and returned them to us. Ben hauled the bottles to the bank where he spent a couple of hours pouring the coins into the coin paying in machine at HSBC in Sheffield City Centre. The staff were very helpful in emptying six coin bags full of the money our friends collected and were most impressed to learn that the money had been collected by our friends in a West Midlands School. More impressive, however, is the total of £438.58p raised by all our dear friends at Holy Trinity School - so far, as we understand that there is more on its way.
We are most grateful for this incredible support. This is the largest amount ever raised in one go in all the time that we have been collecting loose change.
Well Done one and all. The Lord Bless you all.

We want to thank all our 90 friends who came, had fun AND raised over £350 for us at the TASTE Family Funday which took place on Saturday 7 May at The Oakes!
We want to thank particularly The Oakes Impact Team 2022 who ran the activities – Zorbs, Foot Golf, Ropes Course and the Mini Mudder.
Two TASTE Trustees, Rob Coleman and Andy Bryce again provided delicious BBQ and Sue Udejiofo organised the Cake Stall with many of our friends baking cakes and other treats for the stall. Thank you all. It was truly a team effort.
Our CEO Ben Udejiofo brought us an update of the fantastic work of providing clean drinking water and sharing God’s love with communities across Nigeria that events like this help fund. ..
We would also like to thank Dan and Billy Thaw the Directors at The Oakes for letting us use the fabulous grounds and facilities.
If you are sorry you missed out – so are we, so look out for next year’s event and make sure that you join us.
