Almighty and everlasting God,
by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church

one God, now and for ever.
AMEN

CONCERT FOR UKRAINE
A message from Richard and Ann Wylde

We would like to thank everyone for attending the concert for Ukraine on 10^th July, your assistance, and contributions. Anastacia, Maryan and Hannah were touched by the reception they received, and we believe all that attended were impressed with the quality of their performance. Some of the pieces played were very moving and complemented some of the information on the posters that were on display at the event. We have been asked by several people to share an article by Stanilev Asseyev describing his personal ordeal at the Donbas prison camp - here is a link to the article.

Your contributions on the day were most generous and the Ukrainian volunteers in southern Ukraine are very appreciative of your kind and generous support. Renos has kindly offered to keep the giving links open for those who are considering a more regular donation. To date nearly £2000 has been raised. To donate please click HERE.

We are, as you know, working with two dedicated groups providing supplies to other parts of Ukraine, as far as Odessa. We have been asked to share the listing of items currently most needed in Ukraine. To access the link click HERE. If you have any used wheelchairs, children's car seats and pushchairs etc. to donate, please contact us and we can arrange to have them picked up from you.

Many thanks once again.

Richard and Ann
