The Winter Night Shelter throughout Eastbourne commences the beginning of December and Our Lady of Ransom opens its hall doors each  Tuesday evening for up to 15 guests. One of the options available each Tuesday night is a Foot Care Specialist who offers her services to each guest.  It has been suggested that new Mens winter socks would be greatly received.  Also, Mens used shoes in good condition (ideally, a trainer type) would be most welcome.  Any Womens shoes, again preferably a trainer type in good condition would also be gratefully received.    There will be a box at each church for any donations for the next two weeks.   Many thanks.
