Autumn Festival
Saturday 2nd October at 12.00 noon
We
hope to hold an Autumn Festival, hosted by the Eastbourne Branch. The venue will
be St Luke’s Church, Stonecross. Year on Saturday 2nd October at 12.00 noon. It
will be held at St Luke’s Church, Stonecross, Eastbourne by kind permission of
Fr James Vine and the PCC of St Luke’s.
Financial Help & Support
We
would like all our events to be open to as many Branch members as possible. St
John’s Guild is able to provide small bursaries (financial help) which would go
towards meeting part of the cost involved in attending any of these events.
Would Branch Secretaries or Chaplains please contact the Chief Officer to
discuss any situations of financial hardship where the Guild could help?
St.
Raphael’s Lift Appeal - Please Help Us
Recent health and safety legislation means that we now have to replace the old
lift. We need to install a larger lift which will meet our current and future
needs, allow access for wheelchairs and give our residents greater independence.
We need to raise £125,000 to make these improvements possible, and are
appealing for your support.
How Can You Help?
There are many ways in which you can...
Make a personal donation using the form on our leaflet.
Have a collection at a special time such as a carol service or fun day.
