The Recycle and Vintage Sale, held in the Town Hall on Saturday 11th March by members of St James Church, raised a record amount of £3,100 (so far). The sale, now in its tenth year, was the idea and hard work of Julian Richards and members of the congregation of St James. This year the amount is so important as South Sudan faces not only social displacement with some 3.4 Million displaced from their homes but the economy has also collapsed, malnutrition has soared and hunger has taken a firm hold. At least 100,000 people are now facing starvation and a further one million are on the brink of famine. So we are pleased to be again helping the diocese appeal to support our links with South Sudan. There are some items given which will be sold on eBay so the final total will be higher - it was hard work, but rewarding - Well done.
If you were unable to get there, or if you would like to donate please use the diocesan Just-Giving page.
