Fundraising Thanks
Following our appeal for cakes in May this is a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has baked and / or bought cakes to donate, sometimes, every weekend, to our various events at both churches. Since Easter we have had 8 tea-bars including the all day tea-bar for the amazing Bank Holiday Music Day, which have raised an astonishing £4170+ with £1570 shared with four charities plus £660 from the plant sale and an expected £1400ish from Chilworth Manor Open Garden Teas giving a grand total of over £6000 of which £1570 goes to charity and £4500+ goes to church funds. The good news is that there are still tomato plants and other vegetables available at the back of St Thomas', the tea-bars continue throughout the summer at St Martha's and we are planning a grand Summer Strawberry Tea Event on Sunday afternoon 6th July for this year's St Thomas' Patronal celebration.
