Don’t forget the next Food Bank collection date will be on Wednesday, November 12th from the Church porch.
Here is their Reverse Advent Calendar as a gentle reminder for what they will need to provide for the Christmas season.
Thank you for your continued support.
Some reading material to assist with reflecting on the sacrifices made during wars –
Michael Palin’s “Great Uncle Harry, a tale of war and empire” a life which ended at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. To my mind, not one of his better books.
Three WW2 RAF novels by Derek Robinson – despite the brutal portrayal of life in the “best flying club in the world” I have enjoyed reading these.
Guy Martin’s 2021 memoir including chapters on marking D-Day by parachuting out of a Dakota – written as he speaks
Many thanks to everyone who
– helped to decorate the church so beautifully for the Harvest Festival

Every five years the Parochial Church Council is required to appoint a surveyor or architect to undertake a thorough inspection of the church building to identify needed repairs and maintenance. This will take place on Tuesday, November 11th. The work will include a drone survey.

Good morning,
Firstly I have to say a massive thank you for all our Harvest donations. They are still arriving in our warehouse and I’m pleased to say our shelves are re-filling. We are so grateful for every tin, packet and collection/fundraiser that we have received at a time when our referrals are increasing, thank you again.
I realise that we still have a couple of months to go before we celebrate Christmas but I know you understand that we would like Christmas donations to reach us by late November/early December so we have time to distribute them.
I’m pleased to attach this year’s Reverse Advent Calendar. It includes suggestions for what you might donate in the next few weeks. Please note we are not expecting anyone to donate the full calendar, rather that you team up with your family & friends or a local group to collect between you.
During December we’ll be adding seasonal foods and treats to the our emergency food parcels to bring a little joy to our clients.
Thank you for your ongoing support, together we create a strong and supportive community helping those in food poverty.
As always, if you have any comments or questions please do get in touch.
Kind regards,
Ali Wainwright
Chair of Trustees, Rutland Foodbank
