Please contact David Williamson if you would like to contribute to our parish's financial donation to this charity.
Thank you to everyone who donated to this worthy charity, who have made grants to both of our churches for repairs in the past. We get half the money raised back to the parish too. Massive thank you, also to Malcolm and Shirley for their efforts both in the actual bike ride but also in the organisation, publicity and activity of getting the funds in. Thank you!
