This week we are asking for donations of bottles for our bottle stall and donations of Raffle Prizes and gifts for our Gift Tombola.
These include unwanted Christmas and Birthday gifts, new games and toys, unused toiletries and shop vouchers etc. Please also ask local businesses if they can donate gift cards, vouchers or gifts.

We are also asking for donations of bottles of Pimms for our Pimms stall. As Pimms is expensive, maybe two families could club together and buy a bottle?
