[email protected]. This should be done by Sunday 13th March. Also if you run a group within the Church, would you please begin to look at writing your reports for the year 2021 and emailing them to [email protected] by Wednesday 9th March, this will enable the report booklet to be out and read before the meeting. “ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS….……” We are delighted to tell you that we collected a huge pile of toys and gifts underneath our Christmas tree in the side aisle of Church in December. These were sorted into suitable gifts for children aged 0-16 for our chosen charities – Barnardo’s and Bristol Young Carers. Working at quite a rush, we were able to deliver the gifts to the Young Carers’ Offices before Christmas, so that they could be placed in hampers ready for distribution on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Due to Covid restrictions, we were unable to get the gifts to Barnardo’s in the same way, as their staff were working from home. The gifts are now being stored safely at our houses until we can deliver them safely. Thanks must go to Tom Young who sorted and packed all the gifts, and to Carol and Graham Bath, who helped deliver them to the Vassal Centre. Also, we must thank Amy Goodwin, coordinator of the All Saints Café, who used all her networking skills to present us with two huge sacks of gifts for these worthy causes. It is heartwarming to see the generosity of many people in the Fishponds Community who helped to achieve a successful outcome in these troubling times. Many many thanks….. John Waldren and the Tiny Tots Team. 9
