COMMUNITY OUTREACH

 

Unfortunately, the planned Upper Tay Anti-poverty Support Group ‘Bring and Buy Sale’ and the Warm Connections ‘Home Energy Journey Event’ had to be postponed due to severe weather and flooding.

I am pleased to say that both events have been rescheduled:

Saturday 28 February in Aberfeldy Parish Church 10am – 1pm.

The focus of the Bring and Buy Sale will now be to support those living in St Cedd’s Road in Ballinluig. Some of these households have been flooded for the second time in 2 years! Please could you make a note of the date and start collecting quality items for the sale. If you are a baker, please could you consider supporting this excellent cause with some delicious home baking.

If you would like to help on the day, either in the Bring and Buy Sale or the Café, please could you let me know as I now need a new plan!
