Champions for Change says thank you
The organisation, in 16 years of operation, says it wouldn't have done it without the community's support.
Champions for Change (C4C) non-profit organisation hosted a tea party to recognise the invaluable contributions of its donors, volunteers and partners.
The event, hosted at Cornerstone Church of the Nazarene last Wednesday, drew an impressive gathering of stakeholders, volunteers, friends of the organisation and community members who have witnessed the positive impact of C4C’s work first-hand.
The organisation focuses on child protection and safeguarding awareness workshops, as well as various community work that includes providing comfort and practical support to adult and child survivors at Discoverers Hospital’s Clinical Forensic Medicine Unit, as well as mothers and newborns in the maternity ward.
Through donations of pre-loved clothing, snack packs, toiletries, baby essentials, and other necessities, the champions have ensured vulnerable individuals receive both material assistance and compassionate care.
The atmosphere was one of gratitude, celebration and reflection as guests shared tea and fellowship while looking back on the organisation’s journey and achievements Throughout the programme, moving testimonials highlighted the lives that have been transformed through the organisation’s initiatives, while volunteers and beneficiaries spoke passionately about the difference C4C continues to make in the community. A new board was also introduced.
Managing director Meryl Thomas said they have been studying how to become a better and stronger organisation, and part of it was ensuring they have a board in place and recognising the people who walked this journey with them.
“We are 16 years in operation this year, and we have always thanked the donors with letters but never in person. Therefore, we called everyone to say we are here because of you.
These are all the people that have supported us,” she said.
As the event concluded, guests left inspired by the stories shared and reaffirmed in their commitment to supporting the organisation’s vision of building stronger, more resilient communities through compassion, service and collaboration.
