The Bear Church bank details are 'Deptford Ragged Trust' HSBC Account no. 21361317 Sort Code 40-02-25. To support local people in food poverty through the Evelyn Social Supermarket please give to the general pot - it's less admin and therefore less costly.

The Ragged Project Fundraising
Spring Sort Out - hire mother & daughter combo to figure out your fridge, organise your objects or clear out your cupboards. Competitive rates and all proceeds will go to The Ragged Project. Contact julie.joy@me.com to arrange a FREE consultation.
London Marathon and Swim Serpentine - members of The Bear are participating in both of these events later this year with all monies going to the Project. Show your support when the time comes!
Worship - download or stream Dave's new songs and raise money for the project. Link is here: https://linktr.ee/davidwinter
We are 93% of the way to funding our new building. That sounds exciting, and it is, but there is still quite a long way to go! A large proportion of our funds have come from personal contacts. Please continue to have conversations and sow seeds and if you need any facts and figures, or publicity resources, contact Bex or Richard. For the glory of God and the good of the poor.
