Our first fund raising event for the Safe House Appeal was a "Safe House cafe" in our church hall on Saturday 8th April 2006 which was very well supported by a large range of people. We were grateful that the local media helped us to publicise the event; for example, the Faith page in the JEP on the previous day got the news to at least one person who came along and BBC Radio Jersey were announcing it on the morning of the event.
The cafe had several strings to its bow! From 1030 to 1230 we served coffee/tea, cake and biscuits and from 1230 to 2.30pm  we followed with simple lunches of soup, sandwiches and desserts. Alongside this we had stalls of toys, books, Bric a Brac and cakes which were well 'rummaged' by most people present. In total we raised £787.51 (we had initially hoped for £1000 so we got quite close to our target for the day).
