Christmas Hampers Project
This Christmas may be a challenging time for many in our community and we would like to take part in the Voluntary Services Lewisham annual Christmas Project which makes up hampers for vulnerable people in the borough.
If you would like get involved then please collect some of the following items: tinned meat, fish and fruit, sweets, biscuits, evaporated milk or cream, small Christmas puddings, jam/marmalade, tea/coffee and Christmas crackers. New toys would also be welcome. Please keep items at home and we will arrange times when they can be dropped off at church at a later date.

Lewisham Local
We are keen to play our part in serving our community. We must support this nationwide initiative in any way we can. This is the best way the Church can serve our community at this time of national crisis. We therefore encourage people to be involved in their own area and by seeing the way the Government and Council are asking us to help. Please visit Lewisham Local's website to find out how you can be involved (click below).
