Thanks from St Peter’s, Thornton

Then we discovered that a staggering £639.15 had been raised at this event by the Friends of St Peter’s - all of which has been donated to the DEC earthquake appeal – Turkey and Syria. Though, as always, there are loads of repairs needed at St Peter’s, in the grand scheme of things their need dwarfs ours completely. The people of Turkey and Syria need all the help they can get.

The DEC is the Disasters Emergency Committee and brings together 15 leading aid charities at times of humanitarian crisis overseas including Christian aid, British Red Cross, Save the Children and Tearfund.

A massive thank you to everyone who supported this event: The community Centre Trustees, the folk who set up and cleared away at the end of the day, the kitchen girls, the raffle and wine & water game organisers, the people manning the door, the quiz writer, all the stall holders, the money counters and of course all the visitors. You are all amazing.

We will be holding this event again next year, most likely the end of February, so watch out for details. Thank you!
