Deadline Extended for Charity Partner nominations for NI District for 22/23 session
Monday 20th June 2022The Northern Ireland District is currently seeking nominations for a charity partner for the 22/23 session. Our charity partner can be supported by our Anchors, Juniors, Company and Senior sections over the session. The deadline has been extended this week until Tuesday 26 July 2022
BB has a long legacy of partnering with Charities in NI. For the 22/23 session It has been agreed to partner with one Charity which all sections in BB will have the opportunity to learn about and support practically and financially.
Partnering with a charity is more than just raising some funds. Getting Involved is an important part of the BB Programme for all sections. Our children and young people get the opportunity to learn about and help those less fortunate – they also get to show the love of Jesus in a real practical way.
Are you concerned about the many areas of great need in our community – the refugee crisis, cost of living crisis and ensuing food/fuel poverty, mental health crisis, and the environment to name some.
Would you like the opportunity to make a difference? If so please take the time to nominate a charity for consideration. Those wishing to nominate a charity should first read the Charity Partnership Requirements below for guidance.
