November 2009 - We hope to reschedule the fundraising concert for 2010. 
                                   Would you like to perform?!

The Cherish Fund would like to host a recital concert for local musicians (amateurs and professionals, young and old) and friends of Cherish Fund.  It was originally intended for 12th December 2009 but has been cancelled with the hope to reschedule for 2010.  This allows us to hold it during a quieter season, perhaps October, and allows more time to recruit players.  The plan is to hold it in St Andrew's Church, Mapperley/ Mansfield Road, Nottingham, NG3 5AD. 

Would you like the opportunity to perform a piece (or two) as a solo/ duet/ small ensemble?  It could be classical, folk, world music etc.  If you're interested we'd love to hear from you!  More details on the Original Invitation flyer.

Malawi - Child sponsorship, Food provision, Flooding

Following the visit of one of our trustees to Malawi in October 2007 we have made a donation to the work of Step to Jesus Ministries, caring for orphans, widows and other needy people.  We were also able to see the YMCA Avoid AIDS band perform live - very talented! - and meet the young people who are keen to make a difference to their communities.
