Special Deliveries

Parish Newsletters - ongoing

Thank you to our small team of regular newsletter deliverers for delivering church newsletters to some people in residential homes or supported accommodation. These are much appreciated by people as a way of keeping in touch with the parish and the 'outside world!' If you know anyone who would like to receive a church newsletter through their door, because they can't see this online or aren't able to get out to church at the moment, let us know and we can add them to our list. This project is continuing on a weekly basis.

Christmas Card Making and Deliveries 2023

Thank you to our volunteers and to the pupils of St Peter's, St Simon's and St Philip's primary schools for their help preparing small gifts for over 90 parishioners and local elderly people this year. We have some WONDERFUL bakers who made mince pies, Christmas gingerbread and other delicious treats. Little gifts and other treats were delivered by our 'Christmas Elves'! Thank you all.

Easter Deliveries 2023 and 2024

Thank you to all our star bakers, packers and deliverers who took 80 packages around the parish for Easter. Thank you to our friends at Culture Bridge, who support refugee and asylum seekers, for the lovely Easter cards and to all those involved. We are gearing up for our 2024 deliveries now!

Get Well cards and packages - ongoing

Thank you to our primary school children and our card makers for some lovely Get Well cards which are regularly used for our parishioners and others who find themselves unwell or in hospital. These are much appreciated!
