hope 2008 – hull

Pru Todd of Hull Community Voluntary Services is seeking to set up a number of community-based projects across the City for the on-going and longer-term support of flood victims, especially the older and disabled residents – many of whom had no insurance and need assistance with such things as decorating (and gardening).
This looks like a marvellous opportunity for churches engaging with Hope 08 community action projects within the Hull City area. Your church could help by:
a) finding volunteers
b) providing a hall for the event

Pru is proposing an open evening on 17th of April, 6-8 pm, for any interested volunteers to come along and find out how they could get involved. She would really like to hear from as many churches as possible across the Hull City area.
If your church, or anyone in your church, is interested, please would you contact Pru Todd or Jayne Patrick on 324474 or at ptodd@hull-cvs.co.uk
