Richard's Ramblings - January

Richard’s Ramblings…

Welcome to the New Year!

It seems as if no time at all has past and we are already into 2012.  I don’t know about you, but over the last few weeks of 2011 I found myself in many conversations in which I heard people saying how quickly the year had flown by.

I wonder whether we will find ourselves saying exactly the same thing at the end of 2012?

BCM's Christmas Programme gets in full swing

13 December 2011

BCM's Superintendent Rev Richard Johnston and its Director Brian Burns met with Nelson McCausland (MLA) and Will Haire from the DSD this week at the Grosvenor Hall. During their visit Mr McCausland and Mr Haire were able to see the wonderful generosisty by their own offices and the general public in this time of need.

An increasing number of government offices now donate gifts via the Giving Tree and many of their staff join the BCM volunteers to assist in making up toy parcels each year.

BCM look forward to many more years of this.

The Giving Tree 2011

25 November 2011

Santa is joined by representatives of Marks and Spencer Donegall Place, Belfast, to help launch the BCM (Belfast Central Mission) & SVP Giving Tree.

This is the 12thyear that M&S have supported this cross community joint venture between local charities BCM and SVP. All you have to do is take a tag from the tree at M&S and buy a gift to suit that child, then return it to the box beside the Giving Tree, the gifts will then be distributed to families across Belfast.
