On Sunday 17th December St Edward's Church were proud to be able to support St Francis Hospice, Romford in their Light Up a Life Service. St Francis Hospice is a local Hospice that cares for people and families at a time when they most need it. The Light Up a Life Service, honours those we love and have lost in such a meaningful way to keep their memory alive. The festive period can be difficult when loved ones are no longer here, together the service lights up their lives by sharing precious memories.To find out more about St Francis Hospice Romford please see the link below. https://www.sfh.org.uk/
Once again, St Edward's Church in Romford are working in partnership with Lennox Children's Cancer Fund and SMILE (Supporting Families in a Crisis). This year our community collected new toys and donated them to the two charities. Today, the parcels were dropped off to Queens Hospital. Here are some photos of them getting ready to go and with the team at Queens's Hospital. There are few things more heart warming than the excitement of children diving into their presents at Christmas. It's all the more when families are supporting unwell children. It is always a joy for St Edward's to support the work of Lennox, to know that at a small act of generosity will brighten Christmas for families when support is needed more that ever. Happy Christmas to all the families, patients and staff at Queen's Hospital from St Edward's Church, Romford. St Edward's support our community - Team Romford!
