We are collecting donations of produce in the green
box at the rear of the church for local charity BEACON FOODBANK, HAVANT.
Our Home and Overseas Mission Group oversees and co-ordinates fund raising events for the benefit of charities both at home and overseas. Additionally the PCC allocates an additional sum based on 5% of our congregational giving for the year.
