A very big thank you to all who took part in organising and attending the Village Hall Table Sale and Coffee Afternoon on Sunday afternoon. It was great to see the hall so busy with many people turning up to browse the great variety of items for sale and sample the tasty bakes.
The event was a big success and raised just under £380 for the hall! We’re sure there will be more of these events to come in the future.
Following the success of the fundraising coffee afternoon a few months back, Isla has decided to host a second on Sunday 8th October, 2-4pm.
We have decided to combine it with a table top sale. So, if you have some unwanted items that you have been looking to sell on, why not book a table? Tables will cost £10 with the proceeds going to the Village Hall funds. Takings from the sale itself will be kept by the seller.
Baking donations for the coffee afternoon would be very much welcomed. Please contact Shirley on 830270 if you would like to donate.
Tables for the sale can be booked by calling Sarah on 830334.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Just popping this here because a few villagers have asked me to share the link.
You might know I’m running my first marathon in less that 3 weeks, and raising money for St. Columba’s Hospice in Edinburgh. Everyone has been so unbelievably generous and it’s honestly kept me going when I’ve found getting out and running those long runs hard. Last little push! Already had so much support from fellow villagers, means a lot, so a huge thank you, Laura xx
Come along to the Garvald Inn on Friday 23rd December @ 8:30pm for some festive fun. Don’t worry if you haven’t got a team, we’ll fit you in Christmas dress optional but encouraged
The Harvest Thanksgiving Service will take place in Garvald Church on Sunday 31st October at 9.30 am. We would like to collect donations for the Food Bank from anyone in the Church or Village who would like to help. There is a green plastic box sitting in the bus-shelter beside the Village Green where donations of non-perishable food or toiletries may be left at any time. The box will be emptied regularly and everything transferred to the Church from where it will be taken to the Food Bank after 31st October. We had a fantastic response last time we did this so please help with anything you can spare.
27th October – Thanks so much for all the donations so far – please keep them coming
This climate crisis hurts us all. But people living in poverty fight the worst of it every day.
From drought to flooding, climate change robs people of control over their lives. Extreme weather means people like Rose are struggling to survive without a reliable source of water.
Your gift could help a community build an earth dam, so when the rains do come, they will have the water they need to live. A reliable source of water will help families withstand long drought or relentless rainstorms.
Every envelope. Every gift. Every challenge can change lives.
Christian Aid envelopes will be delivered through your letterboxes over the next couple of days. Please donate whatever you can. Due to Covid 19 it has been decided that volunteers will not be knocking on your door to collect the envelopes but you can either deliver them yourself to The Old Schoolhouse, Garvald – there will be a collection bucket at the door.
Or you can donate on-line. https://www.christianaid.org.uk/
Or you can complete the form below asking for your donation envelope to be collected.
Thank you !
Love never fails. Coronavirus impacts all of us. But love unites us all.
Please consider donating this week to help the most vulnerable people in the world’s poorest countries. The link takes you to a special message from Garvald and Morham Churches
