A busy start to the summer

It’s been a busy start to the summer at CSW! We not only hosted an Airstream Stage at the Big Church Day Out to a packed audience, but a few weeks later 23 brave CSW supporters abseiled down Guildford Cathedral to raise money for us- including our own Chief Executive!

Music, fun, sun…and bringing real change for refugees

Over the May bank holiday weekend, CSW was at Big Church Day Out in West Sussex. It was a fantastic time where we got to catch up with many of our supporters and even meet a few new ones! Over 400 people signed our petition seeking to bring Real Change for Refugees, and CSW’s Airstream stage was reportedly one of the most popular of the weekend. And, as you can see from the photos, we were blessed with good weather- at least for some of the time!

Going over the edge!

Last month we gathered at the base of Guildford Cathedral to watch our Chief Executive Mervyn Thomas conquer 160 feet and a severe fear of heights to raise money for religious freedom! He was joined by a brave team of 22 other CSW supporters. We’re all really proud of Mervyn and the whole team. Our oldest abseiler was 82, while the youngest supporter going down the tower was only ten! It was an amazing day and we’re so proud of everyone who went down the tower for us. So far the team have raised over £15,000 for our work. Thank you to everyone who supported us!
