Foodbank NEWS

Update - w/e 5/7/2026

For users of the Foodbank, school holidays are less about a rest or time away from home, but more about anxiety associated with the concerns to provide the extra meals and snacks when schhols are closed and worrying about not being able to afford treats or outings for their children. Donations are down 20% compared to last year, so if you are able to help, please do so. Many thanks

By way of reminder, there are two marked boxes in the Narthex for your physical donations and cash can be donated via the contactless machines in the Narthex.
