Mary's Meals Backpack Project - firstly, a belated thanks to those who supported the coffee morning I held a few weeks ago which raised an astonishing £226. As a result I have been able to complete a further 50 backpacks bringing the total to 275. I am now working on the next 25 but have used up my entire collection of old backpacks so if you have any you could donate, please leave them in the box in the porch. As ever, children's summer clothes and shoes are also welcome, as are the other items listed on the box. Many thanks. (Jacky Seymour)

New Hall Fund: donations now amount to £13,580. If you would like to donate, please make your cheque payable to Our Lady Queen of Apostles, place it in an envelope addressed to Bob Vale and hand it to Jeannette or Charlotte. All donations are confidential. If you are a taxpayer and are willing to Gift Aid it, please complete a Gift Aid form available from the back of the Church. Many thanks for all the donations received so far. (Bob)
