Wantage Parish's collaboration with local charity partners in 2023 saw the initiation of
AROUND TABLE,
a community event, every Wednesday, where a hot meal, warm space and children's activities are offered to all.
PCC Treasurer David Law took on Cancer Research's challenge to do 100 skips every day during February 2023 to raise money for the charity in memory of his wife, Sue.
You can support David's challenge on his Just Giving page here.
Fr Benji joined in the fun!
James tossed the pancakes while David skipped at Holy Trinity's Pancake Party on Shrove Tuesday!
