A huge thank you to everyone who supported the City Mission through Diana Patchett's recent involvement with Bayleys Plate Up for a Purpose.

Last weekend, Diana cooked dessert for 200, claimed first prize for her efforts and joined 16 other Christchurch business leaders in raising over $170k to support the City Mission's Back to School programme.

Many thanks to everyone who donated to Diana's Givealittle page, there are hundreds of children who now have shoes, uniform and stationery and other basics so they have all the tools they need to attend school.
