Faith in Action, but cookers out of action!
By Raymond Kinsella
Faith in Action’s fabulous Merton Homeless Project provides 7000 meals a year for local homeless people but its ageing cookers (appliances not people!) are creaking under the strain and need to be replaced…..quickly!
Twice a week volunteers provide breakfast and lunch but their tasks are being hampered. I know a ‘good workman never blames his tools’ but I think we can make an exception with this group of workers!
Faith in Action have set up a Just Giving page to help them raise the £2,000 needed to replace the cookers and staff and volunteers would be very grateful for any contribution that you are able to make.
 If you are a local business and would like to support a good cause in Merton contact: Raymond Kinsella ray@mertonchamber.co.uk 020 8944 5501 www.mertonmeansbusiness.co.uk

Mitcham Orchard needs your help!
The community orchard and gardens project does not currently have a water supply, essential to its continued success (5 Awards in Year 1) and has depended upon neighbours' kind provision of hosepipes over the fences.
They desperately need a reliable, dedicated supply in the orchard, which requires Thames Water to take a new supply off the mains and an accredited underground plumber to install pipe...work and tap.
This project will open to the public during daylight hours in the late Spring and we need to have all our infrastructure and major construction works completed by then.
Please help them fulfil the dream of this astonishing and successful project to provide a leisure and education resource for all.
Every little helps!

Help show AFC Wimbledon support at Wembley Play off Final!
AFC WIMBLEDON V PLYMOUTH: Fooball League 2 Play-off Final, Wembley Stadium 30th May
 As many of you will know, AFC Wimbledon were victorious in their Semi – Final play-off match at Accrington Stanley recently. For the first time since their FA Cup Final in 1988, they will now be travelling to Wembley for the final with Plymouth and a fantastic chance to gain promotion to league 1!
There has been a fantastic response from Dons supporters since tickets for Wembley went on sale with 16,378 having been sold by 7.00 pm Saturday. However, with Plymouth already selling over 30,000 of their tickets it looks like AFC Wimbledon’s supporter numbers will be far less on the day without an increase in ticket purchases this week.
Please do think about supporting this great local team on the day at this world famous venue and help get AFC Wimbledon on the way to a promotion.
