Teresa has handed over to me this month, which gives me the chance to share with you some special news from the collection plates at the back of the church.

Now at the start of May we have completed the first third of 2026, and I can report that since the start of January, donations to the Food Bank given in church Sunday by Sunday have totalled £595. This does NOT include donations given by any other means, such as in response to our church lunches or Warm Space lunches. Nor does it include donations some of us may have made direct via bank accounts, nor indeed donations of actual food (or plastic bags). Nor donations of time. £595 is a very generous amount and many thanks are due to everyone who has contributed. Things have moved on since those very first days when we seemed to have food all around the church, but the need remains great. – Thank you again.  Christine.
