Celebrate Fairtrade

As we start a new year as a Fairtrade church, it is inspiring to look at Fairtrade’s wrap up video for 2024. It highlights the incredible achievements brought to life through the stories of farmers, workers, partners, campaigners, and supporters like all of us at Immanuel.

Takefive-stopfraud.org.uk

Take Five is a national campaign that offers straight-forward and  impartial advice to help people protect themselves from financial fraud. Fraudsters will use many tactics to obtain money or financial information from us. Be extremely wary of unsolicited phone calls claiming that there is an issue with your bank account or requesting assistance with an ongoing bank or police investigation.  

Remember not to share your PIN, bank card, or withdraw money or buy items on behalf of a stranger, no matter who they say they are. For more information visit takefive-stopfraud.org.uk
