The refugees have been put onto a new system to sustain them.

They have been given a card called an Azure card, which allows them to buy food in some shops. They are still not given any cash at all, so they cannot buy at cheaper outlets. They have no money for bus fares, phone calls etc.

We are asking them to exchange some of the £35 Azure card for gift cards in Asda, Tesco or Sainsbury and to bring these to the drop-in at the Avenue Methodist Church on a Wednesday. These will be usually £5 or £10 cards.

If you feel you would like to help to make their lives better, please buy these cards at their face value from Gerry Butterfield or Barbara Morris, who go each week to give money in exchange for a gift card. We will try to get you the card you would like. Just order it.

Many thanks to all who have supported us in this project to help the destitute.

‘Walk with Me’ booklets with reflections for each day of lent are available for only £1 each from Kath Power.

Commencing on 19th February at St Clare’s, thereafter on 5th, 19th and 26th March in our Parish Room. Stations of The Cross will be at 12 o’clock in Church followed by shared soup.

On 26th February and 12th March there will be soup at St Margaret’s Church Hall following a short meditation led by Rev Ron Smith.

Proceeds will go to CAFOD’s work to help following the Haitian earthquake.

At 7pm on Monday evenings during Lent (except 8th March) there will be Stations of the Cross.
