🌅 Emergency Appeal Update 🌅

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Emergency Appeal yesterday – you’re helping us keep our doors open this month, and giving us hope for the future 🙏.

But we still urgently need your help.

💡 If you’re part of a larger organisation or business, could you nominate Sunrise as your charity of the month, make a team donation, or offer match funding?

☕ Could you organise a coffee morning, cake sale, or bring-and-share lunch with friends, colleagues, or neighbours to raise funds?

🏃‍♀️ If you’re up for a physical challenge – a sponsored walk, cycle, or run – could you fundraise for Sunrise and keep our vital work alive?

✨ Everybody can help. Whether you donate £5, run an event, or simply share our appeal, you’re part of the reason Sunrise can keep supporting LGBTQ+ people and global majority communities in northern Devon.

Together, we can keep our doors open 💜.

🌟 We Need Your Help! 🌟

As part of this year’s Barnstaple Fair Proclamation, we’d love to shine a spotlight on a local charity or Community Interest Company (CIC) that has made a real difference in people’s lives.

💙 Do you know a group that has supported you or your community?

🙌 Who deserves recognition for the positive impact they’ve had?

We’d love to invite them to attend the Fair Proclamation and celebrate all the amazing work they do.
