URGENT! Help us build a new House of Opportunity in Gabrovo
 
We've been offered use of a property in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, to turn into our next House of Opportunity. This House will help prevent young orphanage leavers from falling into the traps of human trafficking, crime and prostitution, giving them the chance to build brighter futures.
 
Thanks to support from the local municipality we only need £6,100 to get the House up and running.To get the House ready and refurbished in time for this year's orphanage leavers to join it in June we urgently need your help!
 
Could you run a fundraising event for the House? Or get your school, church or business involved? Every penny counts so please give what you can to turn around the lives of Bulgaria's most vulnerable young people. For more contact richard.parsons@trusselltrust.org or call 01722 427113. Thank you!
 
CAP Appeal 2010
The Trussell Trust and Elim Church have teamed up with the national debt counselling charity Christians Against Poverty to provide a free debt advice centre in Salisbury. Grant Harris runs the Salisbury CAP centre and is already seeing lives changed. CAP Manager Henry Wilson says: 'Foodbanks and CAP are a superb combination, opening a CAP centre as well is a wonderful way of providing an even better service to clients. It's the icing on the cake'.
 
The Trussell Trust has underwritten the £18,000 cost of launching a CAP centre because there is such a great need, but with resources already stretched we urgently need your help to fund this service. If you would like to help call 01722 411244 or email david.mcauley@trusselltrust.org. Thank you.   

Help us feed more hungry people across the UK!
 
We're seeing more and more people nationwide come to foodbanks in need of emergency food which means that we need more people to support their local foodbanks with food (click here for list of UK foodbanks). We also need funds to enable us to help more churches launch community foodbanks right across the UK, helping more people in crisis. To give please click here.

House of Opportunity Programme in Varna and Ruse
 
With state-care leavers across Bulgaria leaving institutions with nothing: no money, no home, no job and no family, many find themselves trapped in a world of crime, drugs and prostitution simply in order to survive. Our House of Opportunity Programme wants to give care leavers the love, life skills and employment opportunities they need to lead a normal life. To do this we are working to set up House of Opportunity residential training centres across Bulgaria. Having successfully run our first residential training centre, The House of Joshua, in Botevgrad, for two years, we now urgently need £120k to set up two new Houses of Opportunity in Varna and Ruse. We have Bulgarian partners and house parents ready to go in both new regions, so all we need now is the funds to get the projects off the ground.
 
Please work with us to restore dignity and revive hope to these vulnerable young adults Donate
