Foodbank A very big ‘thank you’ to everyone for the Harvest contributions,
both goods and monetary gifts, donated to Worcester Foodbank.
Our ongoing support is greatly appreciated as demand is very high.
We will go again in the week beginning the 16th December and take
some things ready for the Christmas distribution.
Last year, during December, the Foodbank marked its busiest month
since it opened in 2012. Grahame Lucas, manager, said: “Despite the
unwavering support of the local community, the charity is also spending
around £5,000 a week to boost stock levels at its Lowesmoor warehouse
as it tries to keep pace with demand, and has also had to bolster its team
of volunteers.”
These are the items on their 2024 Christmas shopping list, if you are able
to contribute. Many thanks for your continued support Gill

ECO CHURCH NEWS We have now received the new Eco-Church Survey
and the Committee has, after discussion, decided that going for Silver is going to be
impossibly hard for the Mission. So we have decided to stay at Bronze Level, but to
implement it to the best it can be for our church and its circumstances. This does
not mean resting on our laurels, there are still things we can do anyway to be a
good Bronze standard.
“BUY NOTHING NEW NOVEMBER” this initiative was started last year by
Keep Britain Tidy as an antidote to the over-consumption of BLACK FRIDAY,
and the ensuing things being just thrown away. You sign up on-line at the
Keep Britain Tidy website, and pledge not to buy anything new for November
(except of course, food, medicines and repairs). They send you weekly tips on
how to reduce your consumption, i.e. buy second hand, etc. Why not give it a try?
Second Hand Saturdays are starting soon at The Fold, Bransford. See the notice
board in the Garden Room.
BIRDS AT THE MISSION I am donating a Squirrel/Rat proof fat block feeder to
hang in the Mission garden. I am looking for donations of fat blocks to keep it full, or if you would like to donate money for me to buy the fat blocks, please have a word with me. Fat feeders do not drop food so do not encourage vermin for those of you who are anxious. We do have a lot of birds in our grounds so this will help them during the present climate chaos we are experiencing.
Thank you. Sue Garfield
