Donations for the Peterborough homeless continue to come in and we have delivered a goodly number of useful warm items of clothing as well as dog food. We are approaching the cold season so warm clothing and stout footwear will be very much needed. Worn down soles and heels will be of no use to folk who live on the pavements.

Items needed:

Sleeping bags, 2-person tents (not pop-up as these are not weatherproof and they blow away), yoga/camping mats, torches and anything camping related.

Trainers/boots with good soles sizes 8 – 10, men’s jeans 30” – 32” waist, M/L joggers or similar, winter/waterproof coats M/L, new/unused boxers medium, new or used socks with wear left in them

Dog food – self-opening cans or dried food

Homeless people are rarely XL, so please no bigger than large size.

Neither duvets nor pillows can be accepted.

Many thanks for your generous donations and for your support. The donations are always very gratefully received.

Is it too early to mention Christmas yet?

This is just a reminder that we run a community charity Christmas card scheme. Sending your Festive Greetings along with a donation will help to keep the much needed village funds going. The monies donated will be shared between the Church, Playing Field and Village Hall.

Your cards will be pinned up in the porch of the Church for all to have the opportunity to read your message.

Please give your cards and donations to either Debra Thatcher, Ruth Lees and Pat Roome.
