Our collection for the Malvern Hills Foodbank taken at the Vital Spark concert and the Carol Service raised £530. The Foodbank’s treasurer has written with ‘very many thanks’ to the congregation. He continues, “Despite regular large donations of food we still need to buy-in various foods, toiletries and cleaning materials, in addition to buying-in fresh food items stored in our fridges and freezers.”
Leaflets publicising our ‘875’ celebrations are now available for distribution. Please do take as many as you would like to pass on to family, friends or other contacts – and of course for yourself!
