LANDS END TO JOHN O’GROATS

An update from Anne Harvey

I have registered to take part in the ‘End to End’ Land’s End to John O Groats Virtual Run (874 miles) and hope to raise money for Cancer Research and Church Funds. The event starts on October 26th and ends up to 12 months later. I would be delighted if you would sponsor and support me!

“Thank you to those of you who have pledged your support 😊 I made it into Devon and am doing well. By the time the January magazine reaches you, I aim to have reached Bristol – 200 miles in total”

FOOD BANK

 

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Rutland Foodbank throughout the year and throughout the pandemic. A special thank you for donating items specially requested, including Christmas goodies. All of your efforts will have helped many families and relieved a lot of stress and worry for them.

HOMELESS COLLECTION

Thank you so much to all of you who have donated items for the Peterborough homeless throughout 2020. We have been able to pass on a great number of really useful items of clothing, sleeping bags and tents. Dog food has also been very welcome.

These are extraordinary times and the storage facilities are still fairly full but men’s clothing up to medium size will be gratefully received. May I respectfully ask you to check that the clothes do not need mending as there are no facilities for this.

Many thanks for  your support in helping the homeless and I wish you all a happy and healthy new year!
