We are working again with our local St Vincent de Paul, at this time of year we are reminded of those in our local communities who are less fortunate than us and for them Christmas can be more of a joy than burden.

Our Ember team are coordinating the hampers, please note that the last day for donating will be 9am Tuesday 19th December.
