Christmas Giving – it has been suggested we give to ‘Link to Hope’ shoebox appeal this year. Please see the leaflets for more information. It is not necessary to fill a shoebox but it makes it more personal if you can do. Suggested items are gloves, hat or scarf, sweets or chocolates, soap and flannel, toothpaste and toothbrushes, candles/tealights and holders, small games or playing cards, reading glasses, mug, cutlery, hot water bottle, pens and paper. There is a box in the entrance for your contributions. Please can these be brought in by Sunday 3rd November. Thank you.
