This is a letter received from the National Convener relating to the most recent Projects that the Guild have been part of.   Please do look at the link- it is an inspirational story of how this organisation can make a difference in the world; a very worthwhile video, created  to reflect on their work.

Dear friends

To mark the conclusion of our 2018 – 2021 Project partnerships we have put together this video in collaboration with each of the projects to celebrate what has been achieved and to thank the Guild for all that you have done to support the projects and to raise over £520,000 to make all of their work possible.    The video also has a selection of hymns from past Annual Gatherings.   The video is available at https://youtu.be/jBQ42k0-FBg

Please feel free to pass on this link to anyone in your Guild, congregation or community who you think may be interested in this.     

With every blessing

Mabel Wallace    National Convener
