May Updates
As we get closer to summer and hopefully some warmer weather here in the UK, we welcome back our team from Malawi who had a fantastic and productive trip.

Sponsorship Opportunities
We want to thank all those who are going to join us at our sponsored events, Bewl Water Walk, 23rd June, and Bedgebury Family Cycle Ride, 29th September. We would like to encourage you to consider running your own event for Starfish Malawi. It might be a coffee and homemade cakes morning or a Malawi afternoon with music and food but whatever you do, the proceeds will make a difference to the children and communities in Malawi. You could pick a specific project to support or just give for our general needs. Please let us know if you can help by emailing Peter Bell, Head of Fundraising peterbell@starfishmalawi.com
