Winter newsletter out now

Our winter newsletter is out now. You can read how your generous response to our summer appeal allowed us to rebuild the dining room of the Sunflower summer camp after it was destroyed by fire.

Many of the stories in this issue are about the difference your donations are making to disabled young people. We have Ilya, who is suprising his mother by making great progress even at the age of 27. We have news from Rain Kids in Chişinău, Moldova, who are benefitting from training for a key member of staff.

Our Christmas appeal this year is to help Adelina and other children who like her have special needs in Calarasi, Moldova. Can you help us raise £5,000 to fund a speech therapist and a special needs teacher for one year?

Finally, if you download the PDF version of the newsletter, you will find extra stories and details of our Christmas cards and gifts, which didn’t fit in the blog.

November newsletter – out now!

Our November newsletter is out now. It marks a new departure for St Gregory’s, introducing our three new partners in Moldova.  All three are tackling the woeful lack of community services for people with special needs or learning difficulties.  They also hope to challenge the stigma around special needs in a country where only 26% of the population believe that people with special needs should be included in the community. 

You will also find all the news from our Russian and Georgian partners, plus ideas for how you can get involved. You won’t want to miss our art talk from esteemed Hermitage Curator, Alexei Leporc. You are also invited to join us on an exciting trip to Georgia.
