With the terrible events unfolding and worsening in Ukraine, we appeal to all who can to contribute to the Disasters Emergency Committee. We will be making a special collection at the 11am service this Sunday 6^th March in St Petrock’s Church. If not attending the service, donations can be made between 10.30 and 11.00 and again from 12.00 to 12.30 on that day.

The Government will match pound for pound up to £20 million money donated by the public to this urgent appeal to help people fleeing the conflict in Ukraine by providing emergency humanitarian aid to civilians. All the money goes to help them. Please support this appeal if you possibly can.

More information can be found and ways to donate online https://www.dec.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal

Thank you.
