Hello from St Ethelwold’s

Life is busy at St Ethelwold’s House during November and December and there are  events and activities which may be of interest to you.

Autumn is here and at the end of the month there is a special concert with the theme of the changing of THE SEASONS which is being put on to raise money for the St Ethelwold’s Sanctuary Fund. This fund provides emergency accommodation at St Ethelwold’s House for refugees, asylum seekers and other vulnerable migrants.  It would be great to see you there.

The Abbey Group of artists is back with an autumn Art Week event which is always much appreciated and there is the annual Oxfam pop-up shop where you can come and buy some Christmas presents and support the work of Oxfam around the world.

As usual we have our regular groups and activities so please do come and join in.

With best wishes,

Adrian
