Clothes Swaparama

March 9th, 2010

Saturday 27th February saw our first girls-only fundraising event, a Clothes Swap. The idea is you bring a bag of clothes (and shoes, and accessories, and anything else) along and take home a mishmash of other people’s stuff, giving you a whole new wardrobe for the bargainous price of a voluntary donation to Names Not Numbers! This occasion raised £50 and we’ll be looking to make the next one even bigger and brighter, so keep your unwanted clothes handy!

Our visit to South Africa

September 8th, 2009

Hello there,

Its been over a month since we got back from SA, so its about time i said something about our trip!
We were out there for just over 6 weeks working in Harrismith with the charity NNN supports- Tshwaranang. We got involved with the projects they support, such as Hope House, playing with the kids and having them over for dinner; The good news project which is helping to build a village centre in rural Makgolokoeng and the food kitchens which feeds hundreds of children in the surrounding areas of Harrismith every day. It was great to see what we are supporting and witnessing where the money we raise and you give goes.

I am so pleased we got the opportunity to go out and meet some great people.

If you wanna hear more about our trip, or make a trip out there yourself, then don’t hesitate to email us!

Have a great day!
Katherine x

Back from Africa!

August 11th, 2009

Both myself and my beautiful wife have just returned from South Africa, where we have been working with Tshwaranang!

It was so good to work closely with all the people there that we support, and wonderful to hear the gratitude they have for all the people who have been so generous.

So, from everyone in Harrismith - Thanks!
