Calling All to Sign a Petition

The Bishop of Leicester is encouraging us to consider signing the End Hunger UK petition raised by Church Action on Poverty, calling on the Government to review Universal Credit. End Hunger UK is built on a vision of a society where everyone has access to good food, and no one has to go to bed hungry. We call on Government to fix Universal Credit to prevent more people going hungry. The petition is on the table by the door, please consider signing it before you leave. 

Trip in 2020 to The Passion Play

in Germany’s Oberammergau. 

If anyone is interested please contact Kim on 2592238 or kimberleykford@aim.com
