Please bring pruners and hedge trimmers (manual or motorised). The Bonfire Team have their matches at the ready and are kindly volunteering to consume our cuttings !

Support to Ukrainian families.

Support to Ukrainian families
Earlier in the year we raised money to support the Ukrainian families who have come to live here following the war in Ukraine. That money is still being put to good use, and recently paid for school uniforms and school lunches whilst Universal Credit is being sorted out. We’ve been asked to pass on how grateful the families are for this support and the warm welcome they have received.
