CEECC Pavilion Development Fund
(UK, We) Browse events
YTD Raised: £5,044.80
(UK, We) We are a community amateur sports club (CASC) that provides facilities and cricket for both male and female cricketers from the age of 8 upwards. We have a pavilion situated in lower castle park in Colchester and have two cricket pitches on the same site. The pavilion consists of three small changing rooms, kitchen, bar, lounge, toilet and a cellar. Externally the club has a four lane astro turf cricket practise facility and two cricket pitches. The first pitch is the main senior cricket pitch and has been in place for over 150 years. The second junior pitch was installed 4 years ago due to an ever increasing membership. The club runs mens and ladies teams and junior boys and girls teams from under 11 through to under 19. The pavilion requires redevelopment and extending to accommodate our ever growing club and this is the purpose of this fundraising campaign. The proposed project is to refurbish and extend the existing cricket pavilion to accommodate extra changing facilities following increasing junior and female membership and development of a second playing pitch. This will allow the club to further expand and accommodate new junior members and provide further sporting opportunities for the community. The newly developed building will contain four large player changing rooms, an officials changing room, disabled changing and toilets. The newly developed building will also include an improved function area, kitchen and disabled access to enable possible use by a partner community or sporting organisation. The building will be more sustainable to accommodate more activities throughout the year. The existing facility has no disabled access and a small function and kitchen area which requires improvement to enable use of the building all year round.

Everythings 13
(UK, 1143262) Browse events
YTD Raised: £5,040.00We're an educational charity aiming to demystify the wisdom of the Sikh Gurus and inspire and uplift society. We run a youtube channel called “Basics of Sikhi” (www.youtube.com/basicsofsikhi), a weekly katha and kirtan programme at Park Avenue Gurdwara in Southall, a touring lecture series at Gurdwaras and Universities called “Sikhi in English” and a 12-week introductory course to Sikhi called the "Why Guru Course"(www.everythings13.org/Everythings_13/Why_Guru_Course) Our latest initiative is "PLAN BE13" Plan B by Everythings 13 This is Plan B - Everyone has a plan A. Someone’s waiting for Guru Gobind Singh ji, someone’s waiting for Santji, someone’s waiting for mahaan Gurmukhs to come and sort out our problems. Fair enough, we know we are none of those, we’re just plan B, the stand in guys, average Sikhs, trying to make a difference. We’ll do our best, let Maharaaj do the rest. E 13 like Everythings 13, a properly registered charity and eligible for gift aid from HMRC. We have already built a track record of physical and online parchaar and on the humanitarian front, have given sizeable amounts to notable causes to help others in the Panth and outside. Be = Sounds like 20 in Punjabi and along with 13 makes 2013 **This is a trial project of one year** After confirmation from Hukamnama of Sri Guru Granth sahib, we’re stepping out of our comfort zone to see if full time parchaar can make a big impact. We're going to start employing people to spread Guru's message globally, though talks, videos and the WhyGuru Course. Everything will be documented in a blog and posted online to see how much was done with the support of the Sangat. 13 = In Punjabi sounds like Tera, ie "Vaheguru, this is yours". So BE13 means lets be the servants of Vaheguru, lets give with open hearts, saying to vaheguru that everything we have is a gift. Be = Be part of this one year trial project, be the Guru’s sikh, the supporter of the Panth as we look to hire 5 full time parchariks across the UK and globally! Why hire people full time? There is so much work to be done and giving up (because of the enormity of the task) is not an option. If we look at any organisation that is sustainable and has succeeded, it’s because they have full time staff. We’re not looking to kill people, nor pay them a killing, simply to pay them a living. To put this in context, the British Territorial Army match a soldiers civilian pay if they are to be deployed on operations. We’re not doing that. Its likely that the people we want will have to take a signifant pay drop as our target is to pay a maximum of 2000x13 = £26k. What's the maths of this? If you pledge £1300 per year, we only need 20 people like you to hire a full time parchaarik! (£108 per month) If you pledge £13 a week, we can hire a parchaarik with just 40 people like you! (£57 a month) If you pledge £13 a month, we just need 166 people like you! If you pledge £130 per year, we only need 200 people like you. (£11 per month) If you pledge just £13, we only need 2000 such donations! If you’re thinking, I can give a lot more than that. If 13 people give £2000 for one year or 2 people give £13000 for one year we could do the same. Why not do this as a family or business. Can you just imagine it? 5 full time parchariks, spreading the Basics of Sikhi, teachings courses, doing talks, touring globally, engaging at universities, with the public, online, Gurdwaras, at City Centre… Just imagine the change...and it only requires the support of the sangat.. So BE part of this, BE one of those people. Say that iPower Plan BE13. Join us by clicking the “Make a monthly donation” button on the right. Vaheguru ji ka Khalsa, Vaheguru ji ki Fateh

Bishop of London's Mission Fund
(UK, 241083) Browse events
YTD Raised: £4,379.00The Bishop of London’s Mission Fund encourages and supports mission work throughout the Diocese of London, particularly community based projects with a particular bias to serving the poor and vulnerable, often reaching “beyond the walls of the church” to fund projects in areas of deprivation. Since 2004, over one hundred projects have received support with grants totaling £3.8M. The projects supported include children, youth and family workers, youth theatre groups, community cafes, drop-in centres and environmental projects and 38 of these projects were in 25% of the most deprived areas in England (2010 Index of Multiple Deprivation). Throughout the Diocese of London there is a growing need to support social projects in deprived areas as council and government funding is withdrawn. The Diocese of London is uniquely equipped for this role, as through its 450 parishes, the Diocese is present in every community, and can really make a difference to the communities it serves. The increasing number of projects applying for funding from the Bishop of London's Mission Fund means that additional funds are needed to respond to the needs of communities North of the Thames. Please help us to help those in need by donating to the Bishop of London's Mission Fund.

Although the residential homes and our centres are in Kent, many of the families we help come from other parts of the South East and in some cases much further afield.
