The Charity of the Month collection today is for Banardos. One of the UK's leading children's charities, working with children, young people, carers and parents. Amongst many other things, their services include counselling for children who have been abused, fostering and adoption services, support for young carers, vocational training and disability inclusion groups.

The last charity of the month in the present grouping will be at the start of November. To help with choosing the next ones, it would be a great help to have suggestions of charities you'd like to support - there's a sheet for this at the back of church.

Thank you.
