St. Gabriel’s Church has been selling Fairtrade items for many years but no longer. A generous resident has bought the remaining stock and has donated it to raise funds for The Amber Trust – a wonderful charity with low overheads which raises money for teaching and musical opportunities for blind or partially sighted children , some with additional needs. (also supported by MapRA from proceeds of the fete) They are at present supporting over 600 children and Covid has restricted their fund raising so they appreciate every pound that is raised. Their slogan is that for these children “Music is not a pastime but a lifeline”
So Maggie and Peter are going to have a weekend fund-raising sale on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st November between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on both days, selling this stock from their front hall, at 66 Dartmouth Rd. There are lots of Christmas cards and items which will make excellent Christmas gifts, all being sold at half their usual price. They do hope you will come along and bring as many family, friends and neighbours as you can. A glass of wine or juice with a mince pie or piece of cake will be given to anyone spending more than £10 for this worthwhile charity – so it can be a bit of a party as well!”
