Lord Deben (John Gummer) will be giving a lecture on “The Gospel Imperative for Climate Action.” The lecture runs from 7.00 – 8.00pm and will be followed by a drinks reception. See the posters for more details and contact the Ampleforth Society Website for tickets. METHODIST ASYLUM PROJECT Thank you for the donations to MAP. The Suitcases were appreciated as often new beneficiaries are in transit. There can be a mismatch in an individual’s situation so people who may have been given ‘permission to stay’ do not have anywhere to sleep. Clothes to fit slim younger men are always needed. As ever, the need for items which help to make ‘a home’ are welcome. Bedding, Blankets, Sheets, Duvets. The dignity of the person receiving these gifts is enhanced if they are not ‘throw away’ items. Saucepans, Kitchen tools, cutlery, matching plates and dishes on a regular basis. Thank you for your sensitive and thoughtful giving. It is appreciated. Tuesday Feb 20th is the final collection date in the Old Summer House. Contact Mary Sturges 01439788563.
