Events

Yay! We’re excited in SAFEland at the moment because tickets are on sale and selling nicely for this years SAFE annual ball! This is your reminder to get on it!

Its the 13th Feb, in the Royal Hotel Cardiff – anyone who came last year will know what a fab venue that is, and there will be a three course meal, wine, entertainment and a bit of extra magic, this year, but you’ll have to come to see just what that is! There will also be an auction and raffle – all for a marvelous 35 squidaroons.

Every shiny penny will go to our projects in Ghana, Cambodia, Uganda and India, and help our kids to get educated and healthy.

The theme this year is purple and white, so think kooky but classy!

Tickets are available from any of the directors, please get in touch if you know them personally or alternatively you can email info@thesafefoundation.co.uk or give me (Lucy) a buzz on 07947 993 150

Hi members…Hannah here reporting for duty…
I know the words Christ and mas will fill some with dread but for us here at SAFE we see it as a blissful opportunity to make some dollar for those who are in need…
To this end – myself and the other ladies are planning to do a bit of carol singing nearer the time and would love to recruit some of you tuneful supporters to come along with us.
We will be arranging all the details like practise, public liability, media coverage etc… all you need to do is sign on the dotted line…
It should be a great laugh and beautifully festive, so if you fancy doing a bit of carol singing all in the name of charideeeee, please email me – hannah@thesafefoundation.co.uk with your name, dates your available in december and where you live. We’ll do the rest.

SAFE!
Han

We would like to say the biggest thank you in all the world to two lovely pupils from Hotwells Primary School in Bristol, Maisie Mackintosh and Maia Harris, who held a craft fayre on behalf of The SAFE Foundation earlier in the year. Their hard work managed to raise £127.50, which will go towards our roof project in Ghana. Thank you so much, girls!

We would also like to say a huge thank you to our recent sponsors. Although they wish to remain anonymous, two extremely kind trusts have donated a total of £14,250 in the last month to our work, for which we are very, very grateful.

SKYDIVING!!!

Yup indeedy – its lovely and sunny, and the gower peninsular from the sky looks unbelievable, so there’s really no excuse not to get your jumpsuit and goggles on and have some fun 10,000ft up. And if I can do it, (twice), you most definately can! All in the name of charity!

If you’re feeling brave get in touch with lucy@thesafefoundation.co.uk and we’ll send you the necessary booking forms. Don’t talk yourself out of it – its fun!

Safe love

Lucy
