Carol singing success

24/12/2024

A intrepid group of about 14 people ventured out around the village and ended up in the Railway pub singing carols and collecting for the Methodist Homes dementia care project. A total of £653.60 was raised which includes a number of previous events including a carol service at Corley which the choir sang for. Many thanks to all who welcomed us as we sang.

The money raised is being sent to the Methodist homes specifically to support the use of robotic pets in their homes. Find out more here

Carol singing success

20/12/2022

A small bunch of intrepid singers ventured out in the fortunately clear dry and warmer night than we have had for the past few weeks to raise money for Mary Ann Evans Hospice. Carolling from door to door around Station Road, Cottage Lane and Birmingham Road finishing off at The Railway public house. A total of £438 was raised with thanks to all who answered their doors and gave generously and of course to the singers, young and old, who braved the elements.

July coffee morning

7/7/2022

Despite a very slow start we managed to raise £82 for the Open Doors Charity which supports Christians who suffer for their beliefs. It is hard for us to understand this when we are usually faced with indifference rather than persecution when speaking of our faith. There were many raffle prizes and we welcomed a couple of new faces and it was nice to see Arthur Edwards there with his family.
Thanks to Chris and Sue for their work and home made cakes.
