Don’t forget to let people know that the Salvation Army is starting to run a food bank once a month on Saturday mornings for working families who are struggling to make ends meet. The first food bank for this is on Saturday 15th October from 9.30 a.m. until 11 a.m. If you know of any families who are working hard but still finding it difficult, please let them know.
Yan Hadley will be our guest speaker at the evening meeting on Sunday 16th October at 6 p.m., so come along to listen and be blessed!
Dementia is an issue which affects many people, and CRT is working with other local groups to help make our area a ‘dementia-friendly area.’ There will be meetings about how to make this happen in October, including one on Tuesday 25th October at GPCC from 12 noon until 1.30 p.m. (with a light lunch provided.) Come along to find out more about dementia, how you can help those suffering with dementia and how you can support families and friends who may be carers. Anyone with personal experience of this knows the value of a good support network, and it’s always good to be informed.
And don’t forget our ongoing need for help in preparing for the Christmas Market! We need donations of food items for the Christmas hamper and raffle prizes as well as tombola prizes, as well as helpers to prepare goody bags on Wednesday 23rd November (9-11 a.m.) and to man stalls/ serve refreshments at the market (Friday 9th December, 4-8 p.m.)
