Home Harvest Supper Success

A big thank you to everyone who supported the Home Harvest Supper in October. With your help we raised £300, which is going towards the running costs for St Peters. Hopefully normal service will resume next year!

2020 Poppy Appeal

As we all know, the 2020 Poppy Appeal for the Royal British Legion at the beginning of November was significantly disrupted by virus restrictions, with no house to house collections permitted or formal services at War Memorials.

Nonetheless, I am delighted to report that some local collecting was possible. My sincere thanks go to everyone who contributed in any way to raise £309.93.

Contributions from local communities like ours are crucial in helping the Royal British Legion to support veterans, Forces personnel and their families who have served and sacrificed throughout the generations, providing aid in many forms - from bereavement support to homelessness and everything in between.

If you have not been able to donate so far and would like to do so, here are three options :
