Mike and Claire Phillips will be running the Coast-to-Coast path from the Irish Sea at St Bees in Cumbria to the North Sea at Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire over the course of two weeks in June. It's 192 miles with a total elevation gain of 29,000 feet. They hope to raise money for Turning Tides Homeless Charity where Claire and their daughter, Sophie, volunteer. If you would like to sponsor them there is a form on the font at St Michael's or click here.

Horsham Matters Food Bank - The food bank started 2022 by providing food for 347 people and ended it by feeding 1,466 adults and children in December – an illustration of how tough things have got for many. January 2023 has continued in the same vein with 788 people needing support with food. More and more of those needing help are working people, finding their salaries no longer cover both bills and food, and our support in household budgeting, debt advice and benefits checks is proving a valuable service to those now in crisis.
 

If you can spare an item or two, the foodbank is currently short of:

Jam, Marmite, Chocolate Spread and Peanut Butter, Ketchup, Brown Sauce and Mayonnaise, Long-Life Sponge Puddings, Laundry Detergent, Deodorant

OUR DONATIONS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER.
