make a significant difference to a number of charities and individuals. The Trustees are occupied in

Christian Ethiopian women called Mekdes Mekonnen and her small child Novah; whom we have aided
since our charity's start. Should funds allow
we will step-up our giving to aid like-minded
organisations that help such individua15. Our giving will be possible when donors are actively
supporting the charity and grants will be issued through our grant application scheme. that seeks to
give relief to anyone suffering because of war, financial lack or if a personlfamily are in an unsafe,
or abusive environment.
With the founder having had a ￿ent serious health episode: Crimson Cord Ministries has been
delayed in its operations and ability to attrartlraise funding. With health ￿tuming, the goal is for
the founder to now build with her team CCM'5 brand exposure to communicate our aims and
hopefully gain support from volunteers and donors and secure grants to build capacity. CCM operates
from a small office in Corbridge Northumbedand where it will be expanding to include a management
team to assist in the day to day running of the charity.
