SCORE UPDATE
At the December SCORE meeting the following grants were made: Alabaré received £3,000 towards its rough sleeper initiative. This will be match funded by a very generous donor, thus doubling the grant. Rise:61 received £2,000 towards its missionary work with young people in Bemerton Heath. Presentation Sisters in Pakistan received £2,500 to support their work providing education to some of the poorest children in Sindh. Applications for grants can be made using the form on the website and should reach the committee before the next SCORE meeting on 4 March.
