In past years St Andrew’s has been a collection point for food, toys and gifts for Anglicare-Dixon House to give to Emergency Relief clients. This year we are not a collection point, but individuals are welcome to take donations directly to Dixon House on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 December ONLY.
Dixon House has requested for the 2022 Christmas Distribution Appeal, please consider prioritising your donation to as much FOOD as possible, and then toys.

Many thanks to those who assisted in rejecting the Christmas trees, installing the 'manger' in the church for the Nativity Play, and clearing out the Counting Room. In anticipation, thanks to all those who are assisting with refreshments and the barbecue on Sunday.
