WE NEED YOUR HELP:
CLEANING—One of our teams has had to step down, so we are looking to recruit. Cleaners work in teams of 2 and cover two weeks every 6-8 weeks. If you can help, please get in touch with Tracey. Contact details: 01454 417660, tracey.lynne.black@hotmail.co.uk. Thank you in anticipation.
COFFEE MORNING HELPERS
The Coffee mornings at St Helen’s are a great success. Everyone benefits from getting together, and we raise monthly funds for charity. If you could spare an hour on a Tuesday morning to help bake, wash up, or serve, we would love to hear from you. A sign-up sheet is available in the Church, or you can contact rosemaryboere@gmail.com. Many thanks.
HELP TO MAINTAIN ST HELEN’S CHURCHYARD
Many consider St Helens Churchyard the prettiest and best-maintained churchyard in the area. We actively encourage wildflower displays, including primroses, cowslips, oxeye daisies, and birds-foot trefoil. We are looking for additional help to mow the grass, which must be carried out in sympathy with the wildflowers. The demand for cutting changes through the season.
If you can work without supervision at your own convenience for an hour a week and would like to join the team, please contact Richard Hiscock at 07444236099 e: richardhiscock25@gmail.com
