Christmas Hampers

Many thanks to St Peter’s and St Pol De Leon for choosing a family to sponsor this Christmas.  A polite reminder I will be attending each church on Wednesday 3rd December to collect any donated items. 

Should anyone from St Mary’s or St John’s like to sponsor a local family in need this Christmas, please see the below and contact Molly for full details – molly.blewett@penleecluster.org.uk.  

As part of my role as a Family Worker, I am currently supporting 13 families within our local community, ranging in age from newborns to 80 years old. 
This Christmas, I would love to create a special Christmas Hamper for each of these families. The hampers would include practical and thoughtful items such as non-perishable food, toiletries, winter essentials, perhaps even a small Christmas gift, and a festive card.  Please note: hampers should not include alcohol, scratch cards or gambling-related items, tobacco, vapes or medication.  Molly
