Christians Against Poverty Whitehaven - April Update 

News: The Fareshare scheme that we have used to benefit
our clients for several years, was supplying less and less food
and more often things that couldn’t be used so we took the
decision to stop. Our current clients have been transferred to
support from the Phoenix Centre and we have donated our
remaining funds to that.

Huge thanks to everyone who has given to support the Fareshare work over the
last years and to the volunteers who faithfully sorted, packed and delivered the
food each Tuesday.

Prayers: Please pray for new clients. Whilst it’s a great relief to find us and know
there is a solution to their debt, it can be daunting to
collect together all the paperwork.
Our next prayer meeting is on 8th May by Zoom.
