Thanks to the wonderful efforts of local volunteers “Goodgym”, who visited us on 2nd October, we cleared the church cellar to store the large variety of tools required for the Gardening as Therapy initiative. Read their report
here. They returned in December to help cut back some of the bushes.
Making a start at the "Gardening as Therapy" project with support from Age Cymru.
In the weeks before the Armistice Centenary ghostly figures began appearing in various parts of the church. Very effective, provoking lots of discussion.
Poppy Rocks. A memorial tribute produced by the Forget Me Not Café for the “Bell Garden".
Remembrance Display at the front of the nave, including information about the people commemorated on the memorials, was been visited by hundreds of people during the Festival.
In the Act of Remembrance, members of the congregation read out the individual names and presented poppy crosses for everyone commemorated on the memorials. They filled all the window ledges.
On a rainy day in December (Tuesday 4th to be exact), our wonderful friends from “Goodgym” visited us for the second time. On this occasion they cut back bushes, cleared leaves, gave the grounds a general tidy (and took lots of photos!), to help our ForgetMeNot Cafe and to get the Gardening as Therapy initiative up and running.
