The new £5 note has been launched and it has inspired people to give the first one they receive to charity.
One of our supporters has already donated their first new fiver to ASSIST. It would be wonderful if you’d like to do the same.
You are welcome to drop your £5 in to our office or bring it to one of forthcoming events such as our AGM.

At long last we are acquiring some more space so that our office team will no longer be so squashed and conditions will be more pleasant for everyone.
We’d be really grateful if anyone could help us with the following to furnish the new rooms..
mini-fridge
hot water dispenser (2-3 litre water heater)
tea/coffee station (small cupboard, or similar, we can use for this purpose).
key safe
We are happy with second-hand donations, or people offering to buy the items for us (we have a wishlist).

In June this year we celebrated Refugee week by holding a Fundraising Dinner at Channing Hall and we are pleased to report that the event raised £1,700 for ASSIST. This was a fantastic total considering it was the very first time we’d put on an event of this type and magnitude.
Our thanks go to all the 98 wonderful guests who came to the dinner. We really do appreciate your support (and your patience when parts of the catering operation didn’t go entirely to plan!)
