Our Patrons & Collaborators

Further, Together

CRY X TURBOCAM

Over the years, CRY has built a meaningful collaboration with a like-minded organisation, TURBOCAM, a Christian owned company specialising in the manufacture of core turbomachinery flowpath components. Their ethos, values, and ambitions align seamlessly with CRY’s vision. 

Following the success of several ad hoc projects in partnership with TURBOCAM’s Fareham, Hampshire site, we are thrilled to announce that TURBOCAM has become our official and first-time patron as of January 2025.

TURBOCAM’s involvement will enable CRY to continue developing and supporting our global partners, with a particular focus on projects related to microfinance, feeding programmes, and vocational skills. Their commitment to “blessing others because we’ve been blessed” is a significant step towards empowering children to break free from the cycle of poverty.

We are excited about the opportunities this partnership will bring as we foster networking connections, visit project sites, and work towards a brighter future for children worldwide.

CRY X The Collaborative Project

Over the years, CRY has built a meaningful collaboration with a like-minded US based organisation, THE COLLABORATIVE PROJECT.

Mark and Natalie Kresge are the founders of The Collaborative Project. They have been married since 2011 and have two children, Jude and Ivy. They are passionate about building healthy families, discipleship, generosity, prayer, old-timey movies, and sushi.

In early 2020, God awakened a dream within them to see a revival in Europe. Although they have always loved the nations of the world, God has birthed a passion in their hearts to see communities in Europe saturated with God's love and power. They have given their yes to the Great Commission to Go (Matthew 28), the Great Commandment to Love (Matthew 22), and the Great Collaboration to Unify for God’s glory (John 17).

Since then they have been supporting the work of CRY in different parts of the world, especially in Eastern Europe, ensuring that children who are marginalised can get the help needed to thrive.

CRY X MindCareTraining

We are thrilled to collaborate with MindCareTraining, a leading provider of accredited MHFA England courses. Their expertise in delivering mental health training aligns seamlessly with our commitment to fostering individual worth and promoting positive mental health.

Louise Larkum, the owner and director of MindCare Training, is an accredited Instructor Member approved by MHFA England to deliver Adult MHFA courses both in-person and online. Drawing on her experience as a teacher, Louise presents content in an interactive and engaging manner, while her genuine care for people infuses her sessions with enthusiasm and compassion.

As part of this partnership, MindCareTraining has generously offered the CRY team free courses to help us enhance our workplace mental health, foster a healthy work-life balance, and maintain the ethos and motivation needed to pursue our mission of freeing children from poverty. In the longer term, we look forward to exploring opportunities to organise training and webinars for our global partners, either online or face-to-face. We are grateful for their support and shared commitment to making a meaningful difference.
