Nice — August newsletter draft coming up. Before I write it, quick check on what I'm pulling from your Charity Brain:
- Skydive event: you ran the July skydive at Old Sarum on the 26th, 12 participants, £18,400 raised, MND Awareness Week tie-in. Featuring James H. as the storyline lead.
- New grants: Garfield Weston (£15,000, awarded 2 weeks ago) and The Rank Foundation (£8,000, awarded last week).
- Sarah T.: consent form on file dated 3rd July, cleared for newsletter, socials, and website — but NOT film. I'll write around that.
- Legacy nudge: your standard end-of-newsletter block, updated with the current Legacy Officer contact (Rachel M.).

The newsletter draft:
Hi [first_name],
July was one of those months where you look up at the end of it and can't quite believe what happened.
Twelve of our supporters — including our own James H. — jumped out of a plane over Old Sarum. Between them, they raised £18,400. James, who was diagnosed with MND eighteen months ago, said afterwards it was the most alive he'd felt since the diagnosis. If that doesn't tell you what Challenging MND is about, nothing will.
Two grants came in the same week. Garfield Weston awarded us £15,000 for our respite experiences programme, and The Rank Foundation followed up with £8,000 for equipment adaptations. That's £23,000 of real-world impact heading straight to the people who need it.
And then there was Sarah…

Pulling latest from Xero (synced 2 hours ago):
Current reserves: £127,400 (unrestricted)
Reserves policy: 6 months of operating costs = £96,000 target
Current position: 132% of target — you're comfortably above policy
Worth noting: reserves have grown £22,000 in the last quarter, driven by the two grants we just discussed plus stronger-than-expected regular giving in June. If the trustees are asking, you're in a stronger position than same time last year.
