METHODIST ASYLUM PROJECT (Middlesbrough) It has been decided to deliver donations of bedding, kitchen utensils, saucepans, frying pans, winter clothes, shoes, trainers, children’s clothes and toys. Laura a trainee nurse in Norfolk accompanied me and was able to share with staff in The Avenue the ways in which those seeking Asylum were treated in her area.

Next delivery OCTOBER 25th (Sept.27th delivery cancelled) Please leave donations, in the cottage at the gate, of The O.S House Many thanks, Mary
CAFOD Family Fast Day Appeal – Harvest Collection Dr Nasha’s mobile medical clinic gets life-saving help to where it’s needed most, fast – so when her team arrived in Meera’s village in Pakistan after it had been destroyed by flooding, Meera rushed to the clinic to get her children the treatment they needed. Donate to CAFOD today so that more families can get the expert help they need. Use the envelope in church, the Digital Collection Plate or give online at cafod.org.uk.
