Loose Change Jars

Put the loose change weighing down your purse or pocket to good causes! 

Each quarter we support a charity and offer the congregation the opportunity to help by providing jars in which they can collect loose change.

From July until the end of September, we are suporting Alabaré Christian Care Centres. Click here for more information.

Jars for this quarter's charity are available at the back of the church and are due to be returned by 30th September.

Over the twelve months to April 2010, £190.16 has been raised in small change and has helped Help the Aged, The Wiltshire Air Ambulance, The Childrens' Society and Help and Homes for Children.
