Charity of the Month: Blind Veterans UK
Blind Veterans UK are there to support anyone who has served in the Armed Forces, or who has done National Service, and who is now living with significant sight loss.
They help blind ex-Service men and women lead independent and fulfilling lives by supporting them with a wealth of in-depth expertise, experience and a full range of services.
They give veterans much-needed support to adjust to sight loss, overcome the challenges of blindness and enjoy daily life. The charity has been offering physical and
emotional support to vision-impaired veterans since 1915.

Our theme is ‘Loving and Serving’. There will be some hearts around (it is February!), including a very silly game using two halves of a heart.
This will be followed by a Celebration and then a cooked meal in the Community Centre, finishing about
6pm as usual. Anyone can come and all are welcome

Our Eco Messy Church was a great success last month led very ably by Heather and Julie Kent. We made useful things like bird feeders, plant pots
and pen holders from materials that we might otherwise throw away and they looked good and were fun to make! Lots of families and unattended adults
came to join in the fun as well so please keep coming.

V. E. Day Celebrations & Exhibition
23 to 25 May in St Mary's & Fairford Community Centre
We need anything at all to do with the Second World War. The idea is that we put together an exhibition of what we ate, drank, wore, read etc etc
on the 8th May 1945. We need uniforms too.
Please look in your attics, cupboards, drawers and sheds to see if you have anything suitable including photographs!
If you have could you please phone or email the Parish Office and let us know what you can offer us. We will then make a note of it and
contact you nearer the time to collect it. We will also need helpers. Setting up exhibition, bar etc etc.
Very many thanks from the VE Day Exhibition Committee. Telephone: 01285 712611
