Delighted to have made use of dry weather and met many folks on way displaying SHC roundels, cheering each other on, lots of tea and lovely fellowship in manned churches (3 in my case). Unmanned churches were open to complete sign-in sheets. (with less talking I could have visited more)

Wonderful day out folks, highly recommend it, with thanks to all who kindly sponsored me.

NEWMARKET FOODBANK Kerri Davies from the Newmarket Foodbank has issued a plea for help. The foodbank is very low on everything. Recent donations have been very low; however, demand remains the same. Though Kerri says they are in need of everything, their urgent needs are for pasta, soup, cereal, and tin tomatoes. They are happy to pick-up any donations if required, and they would also be grateful for any financial donations you care to make. Please contact Kerri Davies at 07597582546, or www.newmarketopendoor.org.uk if you have any questions.

THE NEWMARKET COMMUNITY PANTRY, based at The Racing Centre, provides affordable food and essential items to those in need, offering long-term support through a partnership-based approach. For a one-off £5 membership fee, members can do a weekly shop for just £3. We aim to help individuals not just with food but by connecting them to the right resources for lasting stability. The pantry is open on Monday and Friday from 10.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m., and Wednesday from 10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. If you, or someone you know could benefit, visit us at The Racing Centre or contact us at community@theracingcentre.org or 01638 662828
