Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Dear Donors & Supporters

As the festive season is upon us and 2024 comes to a close, I just wanted to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year but also to thank you for your generosity in 2024.

2024 has been a busy year for the charity… (Click on the photo to see the 8 slides.)

On 1st February 2025, City of Joy Aid, UK celebrates its 25th anniversary and St Joan of Arc Catholic School will celebrate twenty years of partnership with Udayan with its tenth trip to Kolkata in February. Thanks to donations from all of our donors we look to support Udayan with the purchasing of a new school bus, renovating the kitchen and repairing other areas of the boundary wall which have fallen in 2024 as well as continuing to fund the Fred Kahl Health Centre next year.

Udayan and other NGOs in Kolkata couldn’t do any of what they do to serve the poorest of the poor without the financial support and encouragement of our donors in the UK. On their behalf, may I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

Chris Mann
Trustee & Chair
