Although the situation in Ukraine is not front page news so much these days, donations of food and other items are still urgently needed. A truck will be making at least one more trip this year following a contribution towards the cost of petrol from the proceeds of the monthly village coffee mornings. Please put any items you can contribute in the box under Rita’s porch as soon as you can.
Items especially needed are food (cans, packets of rice, pasta etc), warm winter clothing and bandages. All donations are much appreciated and Rita continues to do great job collecting and taking the items down to central hub.

The annual village litter pick will take place at 10.00 on the morning of Saturday 26th September.
If you can spare some time to help out please could you gather in front of the Old Post Office on the corner of Banbury Lane at 10.00 on 26th September. Litter pickers, protective gloves and rubbish and recycling bags will be provided by CDC. If people have their own gloves, that would be great, as people are urged to protect themselves against any risk of infection, and take care to wash their hands thoroughly after the litter pick has been completed.
