Oar Inspiring Efforts Last summer our first Dragon Boat crew powered their way along the River Thames to finish 20th out of 53 boats and raise over £3,000 for Through the Roof. This year we want to do even better, so if you’re looking for a fun and active way to spend a summer’s day whilst helping those in need, please get in touch to join the team on Sunday 15th July. Full training won’t be given, but you will get a free drink and t-shirt and help to change lives! 2017's team hard at work. Could you find a place on the waves? (photo by Sam Goodridge) Stay in Touch In May some changes to the law about how charities and companies keep information and contact their supporters are being introduced. We want to make sure that we’re sending you the information that you want about our work and contacting you in the way you’d prefer, especially as we are now legally required to make sure our records stay up to date. Please take a few minutes to let us know your preferred address, phone number, and email address, and how you’d like to hear from us, by phoning 01372 749955, emailing [email protected], returning the letter that will have arrived with this copy if you’re a regular subscriber, or signing up for updates at www.throughtheroof.org. There’s plenty of exciting news to come from TTR in 2018, and we’d love to keep you informed about all of it. We promise to never pass or sell your personal information on to any other people or organisation, and only use it in ways that allow us to run the charity and carry out our work. If you’ve got any questions about what information we hold please contact us, and we’ll be happy to talk it through with you. Prayer Changes Things All of us at some time in our lives need prayer, and to know the support of loyal praying people. Maybe you are one of those who faithfully pray for Through the Roof – if you are, we’d like to say a huge thank you to you. If you are not yet receiving the weekly prayer email, and would like to, please do get in touch. It usually flies out on a Thursday and is open to items of prayer and praise for the family of Through the Roof. If you are one of those many people who need prayer, then we would love to be able to pray for you. We don’t put your surname in, just your Christian name and the town where you live. All we need from you is a phone call or an email to ask us to pray for you, with a short description of your prayer need. Please do get in touch!
