As part of our Advent Countdown this year, we will once again be collecting items for our Christmas Tree Festival, with all donations supporting the Harbour Bideford Charity.

At the moment, toiletries are particularly needed, so if you would prefer to donate extra toiletries instead of some of the other suggested items, this would be greatly appreciated.

Please consider taking part with family, friends, neighbours, or as a community group. Don't feel that you need to buy every item yourself. Any donations you are able to collect and place around our Community Donation Christmas Tree in the Chapel during the Christmas Tree Festival will help support local people in need.

We collect donations all year round and there are always collection boxes at the back of both the church and the chapel. If you would like to drop off tins, dried food, or toiletries at any time throughout the year, they will be very gratefully received. A local volunteer collects donations each week and takes them to Bideford.

Thank you to everyone who supports this project throughout the year, and especially during Christmas. Your generosity really does make a difference to others in our local community.
