A BIG THANK YOU to all our parishioners, friends and family who have supported our Lent Charity, the local branch of HCPT (Hosanna House and Children’s Pilgrimage Trust). So far we have raised over £550, achieved through a variety of fundraisers across both churches including; two last Sunday charity breakfasts, the family stations soup lunch and 50% of table sale takings in lent at St George’s; and the Children’s lent in a bag smartie tubes filled with coins and the Pound Cross at St Wilfrid’s. We are still accepting donations to this charity if anyone wants to boost our total and the Pound Cross will remain in situ for more to be added. It costs around £850 for HCPT to provide a life-changing week-long pilgrimage holiday to Lourdes for disabled and disadvantaged young people.
