It was the Pantry Social this Wednesday. COOK kindly gave us Chilli con Carne, which we served with potato wedges, scrumptious! It was a lovely atmosphere as our Pantry users shared a meal together. Hazel from Citizens Advice was a great help to several from our community. Next week we will have Energy Efficiency Advice, AA and Breakeven Gambling Support on hand to have a chat over coffee with anyone who might need a bit of help. We had 73 households use your Church Pantry so we could use your help to restock. If you would like to help, we are very short of milk, pasta sauce, teabags, tinned fruit, custard and toiletries please. As always, thank you so much for your support each week.The Pantry Team
As we look forward to spring and Easter, a time of renewal, we are very aware of the challenging world in which we live. Events in the Middle East are already having an impact, with rising fuel costs adding further pressure to already stretched household budgets. This is a concern not only for the families we support, but also for you, our valued supporters. We are therefore especially grateful that, despite these challenges, our income remains stable.Your generosity continues to shine through. Easter eggs are already arriving, just as books did for World Book Day and gifts for Mothering Sunday. You are all amazing, and we are truly thankful for everything you do.In this spirit of gratitude, I would like to publicly thank Becca Carter and Gill Sutton for their incredible contributions to FSW over the years. During her 17 years with us, Becca has supported families in Bognor, the Storrington Deanery, and more recently in Rustington and Angmering. Her dedication to building resilience through community has had a lasting impact on many families.In the Rye Deanery, Gill has been working tirelessly to support families facing a wide range of challenges in a remote area that is often overlooked. Over the past five years, her commitment has helped ensure that our work is well known locally, and that many families now have a brighter future thanks to her efforts.As Becca moves on to new opportunities and Gill begins her retirement, on behalf of everyone connected with FSW, I would like to thank them both and wish them every happiness for the future.As we continue through Lent, I hope you all have a blessed Easter and find hope and renewal as dawn breaks on a new day.With my best wishes,Martin and the FSW Team
