Dear Friends,
I’m delighted to welcome you to our Summer 2025 Newsletter and share some of the latest updates from Welcare. Together, we’re making a significant difference, and I want to take this opportunity to celebrate all that we’ve achieved. As we mark Volunteers’ Week, I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who has given their time, energy, and expertise to support our work. While the phrase “we couldn’t do it without you” is often heard, it is true and we are grateful to each of you. Your contributions make a real difference. Below, you’ll find links that highlight just a few of the many ways your support has had a positive impact this year.
For those looking to get more involved, we have several exciting fundraising events coming up. These are great opportunities not only to support our work but also to bring new people into the Welcare family:
Simply follow the links to find out more or sign up/purchase a ticket. In the year ending 31 March 2025, our dedicated team supported 838 families and secured £41,116 in grant funding for families, which has enabled us to expand our reach and family services we offer. You can read more about our impact in the flyer on our website. Our full Annual Report and Accounts will be available at the end of July.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to working with families facing adversity, offering support with both skill and sensitivity. The story of Imran, and the positive outcomes of our Caring Dads programme, is just one example of the life-changing work we do together. We are also seeking to build a prayerful community around our mission. We regularly share prayer suggestions, expressions of thanks, and reflections. Naturally we respect the privacy of the families we support and we never share names or situations where individuals could be identified. We hope that our prayers will strengthen the connection between our supporters and the work we do. If you’d like to join us, please sign up via the link below—and feel free to share with others. With sincere thanks and very best wishes for a wonderful summer.
Anna Khan,
Welcare CEO
