St Mary's Church Clock Face Fund News

Jigsaws Urgently Needed!

We are currently selling jigsaws to raise funds for the clock face, but they are selling so fast we need to top up our supply!

If anyone has any new or used jigsaws in good condition with no pieces missing, and would like to donate please contact Jane on 07790 641913 to arrange collection or delivery.

You can now donate to the clockface fund by going through the Easyfundraising when you do your shopping. Easyfundraising partners with over 7,500 brands who will donate part of what you spend to a cause of your choice. It won't cost you any extra. The cost is covered by the brand. It includes most supermarkets when you shop online.

How to get started

Become an easyfundraiser

The easiest way is to email SwinePC@outlook,com and we'll send you a link!

If you use our link to register we will automatically get an additional £5 donation once your donations reach £5. Sign up and make sure you've selected "St Mary’s Church Swine" as your cause (the link we send should automatically have selected that for you).

Remember to go through Easy funding when you do your shopping - you can download the app to make this easier, or at the time of registration click "yes" to receiving reminders.

That way, whenever you go on a participating website you'll be asked if you want them to donate, so all you have to remember is to say yes!

 

That's all there is to it.

Thank you for doing this very simple thing to help our fund raising.

The Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust Loneliness Survey

 

The Research and Development department at The Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust is asking for help with very large survey study they are working on. They need to reach circa 15000 Participants for this study.


Can you help by sharing and completing this important survey related to loneliness and isolation? 

 

It only takes 5 minutes and it will hopefully have an effect on governmental funding in the area. The study aims to map social isolation and loneliness around Hull. The findings will hopefully influence policy makers.
