This list is decided by the Giving Committee of the PCC every three years and we try to include articles about the various charities in the magazine throughout the year. Any literature they send us is displayed on the table at the back of church.
We also support Traidcraft through our monthly stalls, The Simon Community with food at Harvest, Operation Christmas Child with shoeboxes of toys, and have recently started collecting non-perishable food for local Foodbanks.
