Again, an astonishing response for this month’s Foodbank collection – 12 bags and £3604. Both Foodbanks have restated this week that they could not function fully without the support of Our Lady of Lourdes parishioners. In 2024 alone you have given between them just over £30,000. That is sensational and thank you so much. This month Loaves & Fishes received all of the bags and £1800 with £1804 going to Community Foodbank.

Additionally, this month a parishioner handed over £500 from the annual collection from a Celtic fans’ group. In turn, £250 was given to each Foodbank. Many thanks again for this.
