Derek Manger will be running the Shrewsbury Half Marathon on behalf of Chauncy Maples on 23rd June.

"I am now 60 and have always enjoyed running. This is the first official Marathon and Half Marathon in my home town of Shrewsbury. However I've not run more than about six continuous miles for nearly 10 years - thank goodness I've only entered the half marathon!

"It's just such an innovative and inspiring aim to restore the old ship to bring healthcare services again to the rural communities around Lake Malawi. This has added a really worthwhile emphasis to my modest effort. So I really hope that everyone who reads this will make a donation for the Chauncy Maples."

You can make a donation via Derek's Just Giving page.

We are delighted to announce that Oxford group Moonrakers will be performing a charity concert for us on July 5th! The concert will be at St John the Evangelist Church on Iffley Road in Oxford, and will start at 7.30pm.

Moonrakers are four consummate musicians playing harp, fiddle, whistles, guitar, Irish bouzouki and female/male vocals. The group specialises in Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English traditional and contemporary tunes and songs, presenting exquisite music (BBC). They are rapidly creating a buzz in the world of acoustic music, with three albums receiving glowing reviews in the music press (Just OOZES quality - Living Tradition; highly infectious - Maverick) and appearances at many festivals, arts centres and churches in the South.

Tickets can be bought from us via JustGiving. If you want to promote the concert you can download the event poster.
