We are all so proud of Lynn and grateful for all that she has done, does now and continues to do as Church Warden, Parish Safeguarding Officer, organiser of Messy Church as well as her work with Gateshead Foodbank and much more.

Each recipient of Maundy money is given two small leather purses by the King, one red and one white. The red contains a small amount of ordinary coinage which symbolises the sovereign's gift for food and clothing, while the white purse contains Maundy coins up to the value of the monarch's age (which this year is 76p). The red purse contains a £5 coin commemorating Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and a 50p coin which features stories of the Second World War.
