This year during December and into January we will be supporting Fledge Youth Support in Eastleigh.  Fledge nurtures vulnerable and homeless young people by providing a home environment, offering long-term support and encouraging healthy relationships.  

On Sunday 8 December, Phil Watts, Chair of Fledge’s Trustees, will be our speaker at our 9.15 am and 10.45 am services – we look forward to hearing from him and will launch the donations to Fledge on that day.

Please put your donation in an envelope marked ‘Christmas Charity’ and place it in the offering at a service or send it to The Rectory.  Cheques should be made payable to ‘Bishopstoke PCC’.  If we have a Gift Aid declaration from you, we will add Gift Aid to your donation and include this in the total we send to Open Doors.  If you wish, you can use a church Gift Aid envelope for this, as long as it is still marked ‘Christmas Charity’.  Many thanks.

If you would like to write one Christmas card to everyone in church and bring it along any time from the start of December, we will put them all up on a board.  You may like to give the money you save to Fledge.
