If you are a victim of crime and are over 60 years of age there is a service available called Handy Van.

It is sponsored by Age UK and offers an opportunity to have your home security inspected and updated without charge in many cases. All of their workers are CRB checked.

Appointments can be made to suit and lots of little jobs can be done if necessary. Such as curtains hung up again and hand rails erected should they be needed.

If interested phone NHW on: 01795419212 or use freephone on: 0808 100 3308 and speak to George who will help you to get this helpful service.

Sarah Oakham To Run The London Marathon 2013

Please help Sarah raise money for Cancer Research UK.

On the 21st of April 2013, Upchurch's Sarah Oakham will be running in the 2013 London Marathon to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Heres why....

“I am running the London Marathon in 2013. I was a spectator for this year's marathon and it really inspired me to apply..... so here I am!! This will be my first ever marathon so please support me and dig deep, anything you can donate will be a massive help!

I have decided to raise money for a great cause...Cancer Research UK, the UK's leading cancer charity. Cancer research is a charity close to my heart due to my personal experience as a child and I want to raise money to support my friends and family whom have suffered from cancer.

Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.”

Sarah's giving page is: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/SarahOakham

Sarah will be holding a Bake Sale on Sunday the 24th of March at The Crown. Money raised will go towards Sarah's fundraising. More details to follow soon.

St. Mary the Virgin Upchurch - A Brief History & Guide

The Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Upchurch - A Brief History and Guide.

Our Parish church is over 700 years old during which time much has happened. The guide has been updated this year and reprinted to include photographic illustrations. It will be of interest to all in the Parish and elsewhere.

The guide priced at £2.50 will make an excellent and inexpensive Christmas gift or stocking filler. All money raised from its sale will benefit the charity ‘Friends of St. Mary’s’ whose purpose is to ensure the building exists in 700 years time for the benefit of future generations.

Copies can be obtained from the church or myself. If you would like me to post a copy second class within the UK then please add 50p for p&p.
