Our Charities
Charity of the Quarter (July – September) In this quarter we will be supporting two local charities, The Branch Trust Chipping Norton and The Chippy Larder, with donations being split between the two.
The Branch Trust (Chipping Norton) helps disadvantaged young people in Chipping Norton https://thebranchtrust.org/what-we-do. The Chippy Larder provides food for registered families in the town who need help. For a recipient contribution of £3.50 they can then receive £20 of food https://chippylarder.com/.
A plate for donations will be available at services or for more information on how to make a donation through the PCC, please contact Carol Rigby (dunstewpcc@gmail.com) (340632).
