Thank you to everyone from the Benefice who helped us contribute the following to local causes in 2025:

  • Foodbank: 200 carriers of food, 45 packets of nappies and 18 crates of food from Harvest.
  • Night Shelter: 21 carriers of tea, coffee and biscuits.
  • Harbour Project: 33 carriers of toiletries and personal items
  • Women’s Refuge: 3 carloads of children’s items and personal items
  • Blankets: 123 donated to geriatric hospitals where each patient has been given their own blanket – which then goes with them either to their home or care home. 20 more are now ready to be delivered.
  • Swindon Threshold: 2 carloads of home items. These are used to help homeless people settle into new accommodation.
