Broth & Blether
Thanks to an anonymous donation of £1000 our initiative with the Blue Triangle in the Wide Close is “quids in” for its excellent work for homeless people in our locality. The team, consisting of Ruth Webb, The Revd Jackie, The Revd Liz and Ed Trevillion, deserve congratulations and praise for their hard work in this field. The money will be used to purchase ten more “Starter Packs” which will be a great help to the residents there as they move into first tenancies.
