The Ironstone Benefice of eight churches has once again offered to provide Christmas presents for children who use The Sunshine Centre in Banbury.
Each parish has been asked to give presents for a certain age group and Horley has been asked to buy presents for the age group 0 to 2 years old.
If you feel you can help this year, please donate toys/gifts which are NEW and cost up to £10.
Please wrap your gift(s), label with the age group and where necessary indicate whether the gift is suitable for a girl or boy. Wrapped gifts should be left by the font in the church. They will be collected regularly and then delivered to the Sunshine Centre in good time for Christmas.
The appeal is already underway and runs until Sunday 7th December. Thank you so much for your generosity.
Note: The Sunshine Centre was created to act as a hub for a range of family and childcare support services for the community in Bretch Hill and the surrounding area. It provides childcare for children from 3 months to 5 years, organises classes and courses for families in the community, and hosts a range of baby and toddler groups. It also partners with other organisations such as the NHS to provide weekly antenatal clinics.
Thank you from the staff and children of The Sunshine Centre.
A memorial service will take place today at 2pm at St. Etheldreda’s Church for Graham MacGregor. Here is his obituary All welcome.
