The Ash Villages Food Parcels Project Team would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Holly Lodge, and your teachers, parents and carers, for the wonderful fundraising you have done this summer. We are so grateful for the £165.16p you have given us, to top up our foodank stores. This will be a big blessing to people in need in our community.
Alex our Project Manager was delighted to visit your school to collect the funds. It was very inspiring to hear about all your wonderful achievements and awards in assembley, what a talented and lovely group of students. You have a lot to celebrate!
Have you seen the notices on the door at church? We have applied for a faculty to replace the boiler. If you have any feedback on this, please have a look at the notice and let us know your thoughts.
If you love our groups, services and facilities at St Mary’s, please consider donating towards our heating improvements! We urgently need to replace the old boiler that heats the church and community hall, as the running costs are excruciatingly high and the carbon footprint needs tackling, a big step on our journey towards Net Zero.
We have had an independent energy assessment to help us improve our energy efficiancy and plan for net zero, and the boiler is by far the most effective immediate improvement we can make to save carbon and keep costs manageable. The old boiler is G rated and a new one would be A rated, saving tonnes of carbon every year! But we will need everyone to chip in please to help make it happen. If we all give a little we will raise a lot! Can you help? Our fundraising target is £10,000. It sounds like a huge amount, but if we all do what we can, God will do the rest. Thank you for your support!
All are welcome to come along and snap up a bargain at the next St Peter’s Tabletop Sale. This takes place in the St Peter’s Centre opposite the church with the spire.
