Join us to support
Our Lent fundraising has been a great success so far. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. The Stations of the Cross and Lent Lunch raised £80 and last Sunday’s Big Bake and Raffle nearly £250. This equates to the ability to purchase at least one portable machine for use on a ward or at a home birth.
Why the need for these vital pieces of equipment? 1 in 125 babies is born with a serious heart condition. Early detection of Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) is key to saving lives. If a CHD is picked up at the birth of a child, using specialist infant Pulse Oximetry machines, it dramatically reduces the risk of complications and infant deaths. Our local NHS Trust has committed to having these monitors and all funds raised by our children will go to help make this happen. Tiny Tickers places the pulse oximetry monitors in maternity wards and for use at home births and also arranges the staff training required. We have one more event to go and hope that you can continue to support us with your prayers and generosity.
Sponsored – Walk, Talk & Picnic – Jevington to Alfriston – Sunday 3rd April 12noon (picnic approx. 1.30pm)
Our parish Children, their families and children’s liturgy leaders are planning a sponsored walk from Jevington to Alfriston, 3+miles (and some will also walk back). Everyone is welcome to join us on this lovely South Downs walk, however we realise the terrain is not ideal for all. For those who can’t manage the walk you are invited to join us for our picnic at Alfriston, in the Church grounds. Even if you are not able to join us, you can help us by sponsoring the children, forms are now available at the back of church. If you can gift aid please do. Reserve date April 10th – contact Sandra on 07791 627368 or email [email protected] for further information.
IMPORTANT – Sponsor forms are available for all those walking to take away today and gain sponsorship from friends and family. Please take a form away with you. Alternatively, if you wish to sponsor our children as a group a form is available to add to at the back of both churches.
