Thank you to all who came to Wake Up!
On November 30th 2025, we held a wonderful concert in Ceres Church to raise funds for ICCTPR, a charity aiming to provide training to support children suffering from trauma, especially in the Middle East and Palestine. Ian Barron, who established the charity back in 2009, appeared in a pre-recorded video to talk about his work and how it helps the struggling children of Palestine. We went on a journey of introspection through the music played by renowned cellist Joanna Stark, experienced the joys of Christmas with a sing-along with the Connections Community Choir, felt the joy of bringing good news with a performance by Cupalele, and even had a surprise visit from Roxie the pony!

We are incredibly glad to confirm that we have raised over £3,000 for ICCTPR to provide training to support the children of Palestine through the disassociation they experience as a consequence of the genocide in their land. If you would still like to contribute, they are open to donations digitally. Details are below:

A Letter from the kind people at Cupar Foodbank
We are very happy to confirm that Cupar Foodbank has received our donations raised during the Harvest Thanksgiving service on the 12th October! They have kindly written in to us with thanks for our support, and we feel it is worth reading and giving thanks for all they do for the struggling families in the country!
