If every Companions member bought or sold just ONE book of 5 tickets to family and friends, we could reach our full €5,000 target!
Five tickets each — now that's a challenge! 🎟️💪
Could YOU sell a book?
Tickets are available at Tuesday meetings or online.
And don't forget to tell your friends, family, neighbours and colleagues. The more people who know about it, the more we can raise for this very worthwhile local cause. ❤️
🪙 THE BIG SMALL CHANGE CHALLENGE!
Got a jar or drawer full of unwanted coins? Bring them to Companions! 🪙
We’re collecting all your small change and on 1st December we’ll turn it into one BIG donation to the Christmas Raffle! 🎄💰
Let’s see just how BIG our SMALL change can become! 💪
WHAT’S ON 🍂🎉
Thursday 8th October - Treasure hunt hosted by MABS.
COME AND JOIN THE FUN! 🎉
We’re excited to announce that Companions will be joining forces with MABS this year to create a joint UK Stand at International Day! ❤️
MABS will be busy with their tombola and delicious food, while we’ll be there supporting them, meeting people, promoting Companions and, of course, selling a few BIG Christmas Raffle tickets! 🎟️🎄
If you have any donations for the Tombola, please bring them to a Tuesday coffee morning, all will be gratefully received.
We’re looking for people to come along to man the stand for a couple of hours during the day. You don’t need to be an expert — just bring yourself, a smile and a willingness to join in!
👉 If you can spare a couple of hours, please let Wendy know.
And if you can't volunteer, please still come and say hello! 👋
International Day is always a fantastic celebration of the many nationalities that make up our wonderful community, with colourful costumes, music, food, displays and plenty to see and enjoy. 🌎🎶💃
Come and find the UK Stand, support MABS, say hello to Companions — and enjoy the celebrations!
We’ll see you there! ❤️
