Hello Everyone
There have been exceptional donations again during the last couple of weeks. Special mention must go to the residents and management of St Monica's Sandford Station; The Mothers' Union in Banwell and the congregations of both St Andrews of Banwell & Congresbury and to so many donors who come each week - there are too many of you to mention here. We have also received a significant number of sewing machines from Caroline in Banwell - Ukrainians are now making stretchers and clothes for their families - if you have any spare material and wool please donate on a Saturday.
Ukraine are already making preparations for winter, which they believe will be one of the hardest and they are requesting the following priorities:
