As some of you may be returning from foreign holidays we have put a jar on the table by the door for you to donate any coins you have left over that you no longer need. Thank you.


Monthly Charity

Lady Chapel Roof

Work on replacing the other Lady Chapel flat roof was completed last month. So a big thank you to all who support the Fabric Fund, through direct donations, buying quizzes or buying things on-line via Easyfundraising, for making this possible. However we do need you to keep fundraising as the flat roof over the Choir Vestry/Sacristy, which leaked earlier this year, also needs replacing. Thanks again for all your support.

If you are buying anything on-line, from take-aways to insurance, please support All Saints by signing up to Easyfundraising, as we get a payment and it costs you nothing. Easyfundraising also notifies you of special offers and discounts, so it can save you money as well. Money raised goes towards maintaining the fabric of the church.
