WE STILL NEED YOUR
HELP!
CREW Trust is a registered charity (no. 277425), set up
in 1979 by the NSC for the CCR in England and Wales, to
promote and support the work of spiritual renewal in the
Church and the advancement of the Christian religion.
It is the legal body responsible for the production of
the GOODNEWS Magazine, and for the work of Catholic Evangelisation
Services (CES) in producing the CaFE DVD teaching resources
for the whole Church. It also provides financial and administrative
resources for the work of the National Service Committee,
the Harvester’s Men’s Weekends, and the Network.
Over the years many of you have given generously to ensure
that the work of the Trust and the activities it undertakes
could continue, and we are enormously grateful to all
of you. As the new Chairman of CREW Trust, I am now asking
again for your support for our work, in the knowledge
that our important role in bringing new life into the
Church is more and more widely appreciated and is bearing
good fruit. I know there will be many deserving calls
on your resources and that the general financial climate
is difficult, but I hope you will support our work in
bringing the lifechanging power of the Holy Spirit to
more and more people. Please consider if you can support
us financially with a donation to: CREW Trust, GOODNEWS,
