Some years we have struggled with the damp and cold. This year it was red-hot ….. at least in Sheffield. And our faithful supporters were, as always, up to the challenge.
Our North wales event has been going for about half the time of the Sheffield event but, in terms of income, it is closing in fast on ‘big brother’. Our supporters that covered the 5k in Wrexham have so far raise £970. If only another form would arrive with thirty quid!
In Sheffield, on probably the hottest fun run of the last 10 years, our Patron Dan walker was amongst the runners who raised £2600. Special mention to the X-Cel team who, as you can see form our picture, turned out in strength.

We would like to thank our Patron, Dan Walker, for hosting An Evening of success with Jessica Ennis last November at Sheffield City Hall. It was a resounding success much acclaimed by all who attended. We would also like to say a huge THANK YOU to all who supported the event – you have made each charity over £7,000 the richer or in TASTE reckoning 2 community boreholes richer.

It is not very often that TASTE makes a big announcement. However, today is an exception. TASTE has a new Chief Executive. With effect from 1 May 2012, Ben Udejiofo will become CEO TASTE, replacing Steve Horton, who is taking on a full-time role with Wycliffe Church in Sheffield. Steve will be moving back to his role of enthusiastic TASTE volunteer.
TASTE has been searching for a replacement for Steve since the middle of January and Ben comes as a real answer to prayer. Not only does he know TASTE inside out, his circumstances mean that he is able to take up the post on a full-time basis, something which Steve was unable to do.
However, never having funded a full-time CEO before will present certain financial challenges and the Trustees have committed themselves to finding the means to pay Ben a fair full-time salary. This is one of Steve’s last CEO challenges and he would love to hear from anyone who could make a monthly standing order towards Ben’s salary. Contact Steve, in confidence, at steve@taste.org.uk.
Final, departing words from Steve?
“There cannot be anyone, anywhere in the world, that has a better grasp than Ben of what TASTE is about. Exciting times are ahead!”
We have a great group of supporters!
And our fun runners are no exception.
Thank you to everyone who turned up at Weston Park in Sheffield and Alyn Waters, near Wrexham, to help us fill the TASTE coffers. Your support is very, very much appreciated, as is your overall interest and enthusiasm for our work.
Sponsored activity is a great way to help any charity and TASTE is always happy to advise and assist supporters who want to do their own thing.
Seen as one of the toughest pieces of anti corruption legislation in the world, The Bribery Act 2010 came into full force in July 2011. By October 2011, it had already been used to successfully prosecute a UK court official. Although it is early days, it is likely that UK funders will very soon require all recipients of funds to show that they are complying with the legislation set out in the Bribery Act.
To help Nigerian NGOs, TASTE is running a one-day workshop in Jos on Tuesday 20th March (repeated on Thursday 22nd March). All the details are on this flier.
It might look like white van full of tat to you – but it brought TASTE the grand sum of £168. For a first effort, we thought that was not too bad. Certainly we’ll help you to have a new year clear-out again at the start of 2013.
For any of you thinking about running your own ‘wardrobe clearance’ event, it could not have been simpler. Our partners at ClothesAid were great – they turned up when they said they would, they loaded all the stuff themselves and, within 4 days, we had a note of how much we had raised. We certainly would encourage you to run a similar event with your own group of friends. Just call us for all the inside info.
