Support for Ukraine
We continue with our planning for fundraising events to support the local and international CARITAS. Information on the work being done by CARITAS can be found here https://www.caritasshrewsbury.org.uk/2022/02/28/ukraine-crisis-update/
The Northwich charity, Changing Lives Together, who are coordinating the passage of goods to the Polish border, have asked for messages of support. We have produced a card using student artwork and over the past few days we have written over a thousand postcards offering support and prayers for those in need. Our students have shown real thought and compassion in their messages.
Whilst we hope that everyone is coping well with the present situation, this is a difficult time and we appreciate that there may be some families who are undergoing hardship because of changes in work or personal circumstances. So that we may support our St Nicholas family we have registered as a referral organisation for the Foodbank. If you would like to have this support, we are able to process an on-line referral and arrange an appointment for you to collect a five-day food package from an agreed centre. For those who are self-isolating, a delivery can be arranged instead, subject to volunteer capacity. Please do contact us if we can be of help in this manner. As always, our conversation and any information that we need to pass on to the Foodbank, will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. For alternative access, you can also contact the local Citizens Advice in the Community on 07894 238963
