ONLY A SUNDAY

We have been talking for weeks about the idea of the students taking a shop space in the garden centre and this weekend it happened. Spurred by the garden centre cafes decision to close on a sunday, we claimed a space and with the help of volunteers and with a pile of furniture from the Chelsea buiilding society we opened up.

The plan is to use the space as a cafe in support of the garden on sundays and to gradually develop a real retail space for student training over the coming weeks.
The sunday cafe will be volunteer lead and judging by last weeks response,they will be kept busy.


Already a rota is growing in support of the day and last weekend we had several donations of cake.

SUB TEXT........Another way

Dear All.......just bunging this out there..........excuse the directness AND PLEASE DON'T FEEL TARGETED........... Do  feel free to delete or redirect. Thank you !


As we continue to explore opportunities for fundraising, we have come across the Vodafones TEXT GIVING initiative. It allows supporters to donate just by texting.

 It is all very simple, donors just type in LONG28 followed by the amount they wish to give and then send it to 70070. 

You can help by circulating this news and by passing on our web information www.thebutterflygarden.org . 


          How quickly will we see a response  ?  


Will we have LONG 28 ...............? That is up to you.
