Our younger visitors also made good use of the craft table! Although we haven’t yet had a fundraising coffee morning this year, your refreshment donations over the last few months have meant that we have been able to donate another £400 to charity, and we would like to thank you all for your generosity in enabling us to do this. Taking a slightly different approach this time, four of the coffee morning committee members each chose a charity to receive a £100 donation. The chosen charities were: Brighter Futures is the charity for Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, providing that extra special level of care to make a real difference to patients, their families, and staff. Julia's House children's hospice supports the families of seriously ill children in Dorset and Wiltshire. Prospect Hospice provides the only dedicated end-of-life care service for people living across north-east Wiltshire and Swindon.

It was fantastic to see so many people there and also to have so many children busily making gold crowns and bunting! Heartfelt thanks too to everyone who helped in any way, whether it was by decorating the hall and setting up the room beforehand, organising the list of volunteer bakers, buying all the tea and coffee, baking items for the cake table (see photo), selling raffle tickets and providing prizes, or by helping out in the kitchen during the afternoon, and clearing up afterwards - it was all very much appreciated. Cakes were also provided as part of the refreshments after the church service on Sunday May 7th, so again, thank you to the bakers who provided those – we know that they were also very much appreciated by the congregation! The coffee mornings in June will be on Wednesdays 14th and 28th from 10 – 12 noon in the Village Hall. Everyone is very welcome so please come along to enjoy a friendly chat, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, homemade cakes and sausage rolls! The book swap table is back so please come along to borrow a book and donations of unwanted fiction books would be very welcome! We are also planning a fundraising coffee morning in July so please look out for further details in the next update.
