Universal grants are due at the start of the educational year and must be applied for no later than three months after the due date. If you have an eligible child or you are a young person but haven’t yet applied, now is the time to do so.

Harvest Crafts – here are the creations!
‘Here are some of the colourful creations we came up with in our fun-filled harvest festival morning at St Etheldreda’s on 6th October. I’d wondered how our local children would do with a very free-form craft project – making creatures out of vegetables, but the imagination and creativity on display in the photos here speaks for itself. We had a fantastic time and enjoyed worshipping tother at the harvest service afterwards with traditional harvest hymns and the children contributing to the service. Thanks to all who came for making it such a fun and meaningful event.‘ Guy Edwards – Associate Priest.
