We're looking for volunteers!
We are looking for volunteers to help us over the week-end so please email scarlett@cheltenhamconnect.co.uk if you would like to be involved. It's normally great fun and just a couple of hours of your time would be fine.
Help us match-fund our Connect Streets grant
We need to raise the funds to allow us to complete the first phase of our Bath Road Connect Streets Project that you can read about on www.connectmystreet.org. As we try to keep the participant costs for our festivals as low as possible we do not make any actual profit from the festival itself and rely on the raffle for any additional fund-raising. All the profit from this year's raffle will go to towards the necessary match-funding together with the money that we raise from the sale of the Think Locally books that Wendy helped develop. So please be generous and help us green the Bath Road!

| New Monthly Cash Draw
Cheltenham Connect has been doing some great work since it began in 2009, but with success has come more overheads such as printing, phone bills and insurance. We thought that a monthly cash draw would allow more local people to support our ongoing work and would help us to not constantly have to worry about fundraising.
The idea is simple. You commit to pay £1 a month for a year and every month your name goes into our draw. The winner of the draw then receives 20% of the monthly income from the draw (which if 100 of us join is £20 and 1000 of us join is £200!).
The odds are great, the money will stay within our local community and we will publish the monthly winners on our website.
We're still working on the details and hope to launch the idea at the festival. Please email us if you would like to be included.

Our Second Birthday Party- 5pm onwards, Sun 3rd July
Cheltenham Connect is two years old this month and we are having a party at The Retreat in The Suffolks to celebrate. We have timed it so that everyone can watch the Wimbledon Men's Final first!
So come and help us celebrate everything that we have achieved so far. There will be a cash bar with nibbles provided for the first hour or so. We hope to also provide some live music.
