NPI Update - Closure

June 2023
 
 
We have some news here at NPI HQ, and wanted to share it with you, our supporters.  
As we said in our last newsletter, the NPI has been in desperate need of funds to continue long term.  We have prayed for many months about this and sought financial security and sustainability through a number of channels.  Sadly however, we have not been able to secure the money required and the Trustees have therefore taken the decision to close the charity at the end of August this year.  
Chair of Trustees and CEO, Sharon Blair says:
 
“We are so gutted to have to close the NPI and will really miss our contact with the churches of the UK and our partners within all the marvellous children and family resource providers. They are a great lot and God is using all their organisations to grow His kingdom through improving the lives of families both within His church and within communities.
We do hope you will continue to be committed to supporting families in your church and area and our prayer is that the lives of many will be changed through your investment of time, prayer and love into their situations.”  
We are incredibly grateful for all God has done through the NPI, and in recognition of this are planning to go out with a flourish!   
We are excited to be hosting one final online Vision Event, this time for everyone!  Yes, this event will be UK-wide, so whether you’re on Sheppey or in the Shetlands JOIN US for a fantastic, inspiring and informative event about resources and courses to help churches support families in their community.
The event will run online on Wednesday 12th July from 12-1pm and will feature Who Let The Dads Out?, Kids Matter, Parenting for Faith and Connected Lives.  Sign up below, and please help us spread the word!:

We will be in touch again before we close in August, but in the meantime, our huge thanks for your prayers over many years.  Up until August we will very much be ‘in business’, so please don’t hesitate to be in touch with Kayte or Sharon if we can help at all with signposting to parenting courses and resources via
