Hello Everyone

Welcome to our Outreach Weekly News for the Second Sunday in the Year.  

OUTREACH HOUSING UPDATE – VOLUNTEERS NEEDED 

Necessary work is now nearing completion in our house and we hope to welcome our first residents very soon. The house is being prepared and we have planned a cleaning day for Tuesday 25 th January.  We also need to tidy up the very small garden area at the front of the house which needs clearing. If you can volunteer for either of these tasks even for an hour, please contact Mary Hughes on  maryhughes5622@gmail.com or 07962 126304.
