Dunlop Friends of the Ayrshire Hospice: Bag-pack in Asda on Saturday 23rd March

Have you got a few hours to spare? The Dunlop Friends of the Ayrshire Hospice would appreciate your help by offering your assistance at the annual Asda Bag-pack event. 
As funds raised are usually proportionate to the number of helpers available, we hope to encourage as many people as possible to give up only two hours of their time.

If you are able to help, then Andrena Reid, 01560 483696 would be delighted to hear from you or alternatively, please contact another committee member.

SUNDAY SCHOOL : Jars of Grace. Beverly will once again be collecting any coins you have to spare for UNICEF. There are more children than ever in our world needing our help and so perhaps you could save some coins in the run up to Easter. Just put them into a jar or bag and bring them along to church by the end of April when I will send them on to UNICEF.

Many thanks for your continued support in this, Beverly.
