Some of you may already know that my mum, Christine Cresswell, is a talented artist. She is (I hope she doesn’t mind me saying) in her late 70s but only started painting about 10 years ago. Mum is also a trustee of Changing Lives Malawi. Both she and I have caring responsibilities. She doesn’t have much free time to help out at events, but what she can do is paint.

Mum has painted all these beautiful pictures, paid to have (most) framed and has donated them all to Changing Lives Malawi to raise funds for our projects. As you know, we are a group of volunteers. So, if you purchase one of her original paintings either for yourself or a gift, you can be sure that every penny is going to support our work. We are so grateful for these wonderful gifts. Some we have had made into cards that we are selling in packs. But this post is about the paintings. THESE ARE ALL ORIGINAL PAINTINGS (not prints).

Each framed painting is in a 12″ x 14″ frame and is priced at £95. p&p in UK will be £5 and we can post abroad once I check postage costs. There are two long paintings that are on canvas and ready to hang, unframed. They are £85 each plus p&p. If anyone is purchasing more than one painting we can of course combine postage costs and give a 10% discount on your total order.

I have taken two photos of each painting. Please do have a look and let me know if you would like to own one of these unique and beautiful paintings. contact_us@changinglivesmalawi.com . I can give you our bank details or you could pay via paypal or by cheque or cash (if you are local). Thank you so much to my mum, Christine, for donating your time and talents so generously to support our projects and help us to continue Changing Lives (in) Malawi, Sarah x

Christine Cresswell Artist – Fundraising Paintings & Cards

Have a look at these beautiful paintings from local artist, Christine Cresswell. Every penny goes to the projects we support in Malawi.

Sarah’s blog 28/9/24

Some of you may know that my mum, Christine Cresswell, is an artist. She has gifted her beautiful paintings to us to raise funds for our projects in Malawi. Mum is also one of our trustees. We’ve had a lot of her paintings made into packs of cards which make great gifts or are very useful to have at home to use.

Here are a few of the gorgeous paintings for sale. Next week, I am aiming to take photos of all the available paintings to group them together in one post and also do the same with the cards.

Oakwood Garden Centre, Killearn, have kindly agreed to stock the cards and they are also available directly from us at £6 per pack of 8 (or 2 packs for £10) plus p&p. Torrance Church of Scotland also have a selection of cards as they have been very popular.

Please do send me an email contact_us@changinglivesmalawi.com if you would like to buy one of these paintings. As they have all been donated, every penny will go to our projects so they are unique and beautiful gifts that really are Changing Lives (in) Malawi. Thanks, Sarah x (p&p extra)

Fundraising Packs of Cards

Sarah’s blog 30/10/23

On Saturday morning, I attended a Christmas Card Sale & Coffee Morning at The Kirkrooms, Strathblane. It’s always a great event and lovely to catch up with people and have a chat. I had a selection of packs of cards for sale and, thanks to everyone who bought them, made £184.50 for Changing Lives Malawi.

These cards are taken from original paintings by my mum, Christine Cresswell, who is a very talented artist. She has generously gifted these cards to our charity so all the money from sales will go towards building the new latrine blocks. Some of the original paintings are for sale so let me know if you see something you like.

Each pack contains 8 cards of the same design, blank for your own message and they are £5 each plus £2.50 p&p. (if you purchase multiple packs then we can combine postage amounts). Perfect for sending or giving the whole pack as a gift.

Here are the selection of cards available, email us to order on contact_us@changinglivesmalawi.com

Fundraising Cards by Christine Cresswell

Sarah’s blog 15/10/23

My mum, Christine Cresswell, is an amazing artist. She has only been painting for a few years and finds it very relaxing as she can totally switch off whilst she is concentrating on the beautiful scenes she is painting. My mum is also a trustee of Changing Lives Malawi.

She is generously selling her paintings with all proceeds going to support our work in Malawi. We have had cards made from some of her paintings which will raise funds as all money from sales will also go to the projects we help to support. I will do a post of the paintings soon.

These cards have been packed in 8 cards of the same design. They are blank inside for your own message, with our logo being on the reverse. As well as buying to send, you could also give a pack as a gift. Each pack is £5 with p&p being £2.50. If you would like to purchase more than one pack, then please get in touch and I will work out postage rates. These cards will also be sold in a shop local to us soon which is very exciting! details to follow about that partnership soon. Thanks for your continued support everyone. contact_us@changinglivesmalawi.com Thank you, Sarah x
