CHRISTMAS EVENTS FOR THIS WEEK:
We are aware that one of our families is having a very hard time. All the children have come through Mead, the youngest is still here, and mum is very poorly and in need of a specialised operation. We have witnessed in the past how supportive the local community is and therefore have decided to collect donations on Christmas jumper day (Friday 13th December) and at our Christmas events to support the family.
