- Harvest Festival: At the 10.30 a.m. service we will collect food goods for 3Food4U who have this year been awarded the Kings Award for Voluntary Service. This amazing charity does fabulous work taking in food donations and salvaging food destined for landfill from wholesalers. They then redistribute it to those in need within our parish. In 2023 they saved 2,350 tons of food from going into landfill. They also help teach online safety and basic cookery lessons and support people with a range of health and wellbeing day to day needs and offer support with writing CV’s, job applications and preparing for job interviews. They look to treat everyone humanely, with dignity and respect. They do have overheads, so any donation would be gratefully received. Please ensure any tinned food items are in date, and toiletries are unopened, or you can make a monetary gift toward their running costs on their web site (https://localgiving.org/charity/3food4u).
