Big Thanks from The Brick and a message from Keely Dalfen
To everyone at All Saints, thank you so much for your generous donation of cash and non perishable food items for our Food Bank. Your support goes a long way to helping those in our community who are struggling. On 1st November the charity took over St George’s church in Wigan under the ‘No First Night Out’ scheme which is now providing a safe place to sleep for everyone in need, every night throughout the winter months. Please keep praying for us as we continue to move in the right direction towards a full 24/7 provision for our homeless. God Bless from all the Staff, Volunteers and Trustees.
