UPDATE FROM EKIN: Good news - some of the Bruce Hotel residents have now had Home Office interviews and decisions on their asylum claims. They are starting to move out of the hotel - and that means new men are moving in. The new guys arrive with very little and so we are once again looking for supplies of trainers and clothing, in sizes small, medium, large and XL, suitable for young men. For example: T shirts, joggers, jeans, hoodies, warm jackets, hats, scarves, gloves, sportswear, new underwear (trunks), rucksacks. Also suitcases or large holdalls (for people moving on). If you can help, let me know (07703 168063). Thank you! Anne Collard
CRAFT COFFEE MORNING: On 23 November Hannah Shanks and I are holding a craft coffee morning to raise funds for the church roof. We will need people to help with serving teas/coffees, some home baking and also some prizes for our tombola. If anyone knows of any crafters who would like a table for this, it will cost £10 and to contact Jenni McLaren on social@claremontparishchurch.co.uk. If anyone can help on the day please see Hannah or Jenni after a service on Sundays or email Jenni in the above email address. Thanks!
