We have been thinking about all the children and families in our area who are struggling and with Christmas fast approaching decided to offer our hand of friendship and organise our Christmas Appeal again.

Organisations will help to contribute in different ways i.e. donate one nights collections, decorate and fill boxes as part of badge work.  We are extending our appeal to parents and members of the congregation to take part and would be grateful if you could donate something from the list below.
