At Rustington’s St Peter and St Paul Church Hall, I was grateful to see the activity of the Pantry.
The generous congregation make donations at several drop-off points.
The local COOK shop kindly gives 30 meals a week as their Random Act of Kindness. Wadsworth Greengrocers donate fresh vegetables. We can all be proud of our caring retailers - for those who suggest our high streets are dying, I encourage you to look at the stores and the shopkeepers who care.
The valuable team of volunteers include those who welcome and cater for new arrivals, giving them the opportunity to talk, sometimes to share a worry.
The liaison officer links users with Citizen Advice, Churches against Poverty, Southern Water and other important local welfare services.
The services offered by our volunteer groups are invaluable as they have always been. They know that they can rely on me to help whenever possible.
