Our new Christmas card, The Gift of Freedom, celebrates the transformation that our menstrual health kits make in the lives of secondary school girls.

Still also available are our former hits, The Work of our Hands, and Room at the Inn. All are available at the same low price of £4 per pack of ten, and include a simple Christmas greeting. Room at the Inn is also available blank inside for your own message.

You can order by emailing Pauline direct, and pay either by sending her a cheque (1, Apple Tree Walk, Clymping, West Sussex, BN17 5QN) or by bank transfer into our account (Sort code 089299, Acc Number: 651567 11). We look forward to helping you get ahead on your Christmas preparations!

It’s good to report that the fantastic efforts of all our loyal and generous supporters have been recognised in the Jubilee Birthday Honours List with an award which Pauline accepted on behalf of all who have helped Nick Webber Trust over the years.

Thank you all so much for all that you have made possible.

We are delighted to bring to you the date for your diary you have been waiting two years for! Yes, the cakefest that is the Nick Webber Trust Garden Party returns post-Covid on Saturday June 18^th, from 2p.m onwards. As before, it will be held at :

1, APPLE TREE WALK, CLYMPING, WEST SUSSEX, BN17 5QN

No need to book, unless you would like a free pick-up from Ford station , in which case text Pauline beforehand on 07906243191.

As well as delicious cakes and tea, the afternoon  will feature a bring and buy stall, a tombola, and , of course, a raffle for the famous  Malawi Gin and other exciting prizes. And a chance to catch up on our innovative projects in Malawi. Do come, bring your friends, your family, and your dogs for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon treat.

Thank you so much to all you wonderful, generous people who bought a period pack for a young woman who attends school in Malawi. We have been blown away by your generosity. We have received enough donations to supply more than 100 hundred young women with 5 reusable sanitary pads, 4 bars of soap, a tub to wash them in, a sealable bag to store them in, and 2 pairs of underwear.

That is enough to give them to every young woman whose education the Trust pays for, and all the residents of the hostel we built in Kochilira village to help young women attend the secondary school there and improve their safety.

The packs will enable the young women to attend school no matter where they are in their cycle – improving their chances of completing their exams and getting the grade they deserve. We are arranging delivery, distribution and explanations of how to use and wash them in the next few weeks.

Last year we were bowled over by your generous support of our Christmas campaign to raise funds to enable the Women Lawyers Association of Malawi to build a drop-in law center and refuge to support women and children fleeing domestic violence. There have of course been a few delays due to Covid, but we are delighted to say that work has begun. Pauline was delighted to join members of the board of the Women Lawyers Association, as well as Malawian members of NWT’s board of advisers, at a groundbreaking ceremony last week.
