Annual Shoe Box Appeal
2023. We would like to thank everyone who so generously donated boxes, money, and items towards the appeal.
A total of 6,480 boxes from the Southwest arrived in Ukraine on the 30th of November last year. Hopefully, they provided some pleasure and practical help for the adults and children who received them and let them know they are not forgotten. Thank you so much. Sue Moore
This donation came from the Crewkerne monies. With Father Basil £10,000 was ring fenced for charitable donations. So far the Parish presented £5000 to Clifton Diocese on the anniversary of English Martyrs Chard: £500 to the Little Sisters of the Poor for their lift fund and £2500 To Our Lady of the Rosary, Bristol. This leaves £2000 in our charitable donation funds. The Finance Committee welcomes any suggestions for small charities within the Parish who would benefit from a donation. Please contact Maggie in the office or email treasurer.englishmartyrschard@cliftondiocese.com with recommendations.
