A Christmas of Gratitude

Dear Peer 2 Peer Mindfulness Community,

Thank You, And A Very Merry Christmas To You! 

Recently Peer 2 Peer Mindfulness applied to the Aviva Community Fund to support our free of charge courses, which we run so that anyone can attend without barrier of cost. Unfortunately, amid intense competition, our application wasn't successful this time. Fortunately, however, we have received kind donations towards costs from many of you who have attended the courses, and we are grateful for every penny. 

At the moment, it is only your donations, and the time freely donated by our tutors, that enables us to keep running the courses free of charge.

We applied to the Aviva Community Fund to help give more sustainable funding support to our courses. With the help of the video testimonies several of you kindly provided, we got through to the Public Voting Round and the voting began. So many of you supported us with votes and, by sharing with family and friends, together we gained well over 2500 votes! Your support was fantastic, and we are so deeply grateful.

Not even that number of votes was enough to get us through to the final round. We were up against nearly 500 other projects and just 10% of applications with the highest number of votes went through.

We are continuing to make further grant applications and to generate fund-raising ideas. It is very important that we continue our mission to provide courses free of charge, so that anyone who wishes to do so can benefit from mindfulness, without barrier of cost. 

Thank you, our wonderful supporters: our Peer 2 Peer Mindfulness community. We are very grateful for your kindness, for your presence, and for your enthusiasm for the mission of Peer 2 Peer Mindfulness to help share the benefits of mindfulness with everyone.

What a wonderful encouragement you give to all of us: a beautiful message of the season: your support, votes and donations showing a wish to offer kindness and the gift of mindfulness to all.

Thank you, Peer 2 Peer Mindfulness Community, for being who you are. We are deeply grateful.

A Very Merry Christmas To You,

With warmest wishes,

Brian,
