This year just under a £1000 was raised through 'Children's boxes.
This is less than last year - the society needs your help!
If you would like a 'children's box' to support the Children's Society please see Mary Clarke
(Thank you Mary for all the work you do for this good cause!)

I have been reading a lot more books lately. This book by Jonathon Bryan (Our very own Archdeacon's son) is one of the best written I have come accross. It is available from all good book shops and online too.
It is a really powerful book and part of the proceeds go towards the charity "Teach Us Too:" - A charity promoting the right for all children to be taught to read and write, whatever their label or diagnosis.
Department for Education has just tweeted "Congratulations to special educational needs advocate Jonathan Bryan @eyecantalk His charity work with @TeachUsToo has been recognised by the Prime Minister for a Points of Light award"

St. Nicholas' school is a purpose built specialist school, it is for young people with a wide range of problems.
It is currently under threat of closure. Could you please pray for all those affected by the loss of this valuable resource to Chippenham.

Please remember …
Our churchyard is a lovely, peaceful place, despite its proximity to the road.
Many people come to tend the graves of those they have loved and lost, and spend a few moments remembering them.
Sadly, recent visitors have been distressed to find the area being inappropriately used by someone exercising a dog.
We welcome everyone to come and visit the churchyard, but please remember that for many it is the last resting place of someone they loved, and they regard it as a sacred space.
