Catch  up with your friends and family before the hustle and bustle of Christmas, by holding a coffee morning. Simply provide a mouth watering display of mince pies, yule logs and other festive treats, not forgetting the coffee and any other beverages your guests may like. If you’re super good in the kitchen you could whip up a few mugs of eggnog- yummy. Ask your guests to make a donation to Compassion Africa and you and your friends will be helping to give a child a life, not just a Christmas. Download your Coffee Morning Invite here.

Many people are willing to help but find it difficult to take the time to sit and think of ways they could. So we have come up with a few simple suggestions that don’t require much effort or time. They are heaps of fun and can be done with friends and family, the end results are very rewarding and as you help raise funds, you help give orphans the gift of a family.

Take action and click here to see how you can help raise funds for The Children’s village in Sierra Leone.

What a great night!

The compassion Africa quiz night, held last Friday (8^th April), proved to be a huge success, raising a total of £197 for the charity.

The competition was tight, and you could’ve cut the atmosphere with a knife, but unfortunately there was only room for one winner.

Taking pole position, KEEN TO WIN,

Whose keenness paid off, when they beat the ROADIES by only a few points. Well done guys!!!!

Slamming on the brakes, the ROADIES

Secured 2^nd place, and made it quite clear that they wheelie had a great time!

Tamed by 3^rd place, came the WILD HORSES,

Who did really well considering they were a jockey down!

Crashing in at 4^th place were the BANDICOOTS,

whose excuse was……..oops I mean disadvantage was the age of the players. The 80’s round caused a question mark to hover over the team, because they were all too young to remember that decade!

Last but not least, flinging caution to the wind,

Were the HIGHLAND FLINGERS! The tartan team were in no way disappointed by the result, and said that it could get a bit NESSIE, but next time the kilt will be on the other foot, because they are going to win!!!! What great sports? At least they didn’t throw their Khyber out of the pram for coming last!

All were winners in our eyes, and we are very grateful for all of the support that we received on the night.

A very big THANK YOU goes to all of the people who took part, and we look forward to the next one!!!!!!!!!!

Get your thinking caps on, and join us for a night of fun at the Compassion Africa Quiz Night!!!!
