Dear Friends and Supporters,
We have great news:
On Friday Manchester City of Sanctuary officially received its charitable status! (Charity reference: 1168839). This marks the 2nd Chapter in MCoS’s story of creating a culture of welcome for asylum seekers and refugees in Manchester. Perhaps you’d like to get involved?
Manchester City of Sanctuary Trustees are actively looking for a new Chair of Trustees. Who do you know who would delight to take on this significant voluntary role? (See below for details.)
We also invite you to join us on Thursday 15th for our September Conversation Club at Cross Street Chapel, M2 4WG at 6-8pm.
NEWS: Six new asylum and refugee families have been learning to cycle supported by Whalley Range on Wheels volunteers and instructors at Alexandra Park. Thank you to everyone who has donated to the scheme through GoFundme.com.
Please check out www . GoFundMe . com/MCoS-Ride-Free if you can help with transport costs for our 3rd and final Cycle course (£50 per week).
Finally, would you like to be an Asylum Guidewith Refugee Action? There’s an information session on Thursday 1st September at 12.30pm (see below for further details).
Greetings for the new term!
from Jane, Charles, Jeff, Fay, Dianne, Zhila, Maryam and David.
