Grave news (in a good way)

Fran Woodcock and John Hewitt from the Wadham College Development Office helped organise a tidy-up of the overgrown church yard of St Peter's Church in the lovely village of Wootton, Oxfordshire on Saturday 30 April.  A large group of villagers all pitched up to help with tools, rakes and other garden paraphernalia on a glorious Spring day. Della and Don turned up to help, too and the results of the make-over were remarkable.  


If you remember our trip back in February, you may recall that we provided a new sewing machine to three ladies who were overwhelmed by the generosity and couldn't stop smiling.  It was Fran's mother who first met the ladies and asked us to find them.

Thanks to the support of people in Wootton and at Wadham College, this spring clean of the churchyard has raised close to £3,000 - you can still donate via Fran's JustGiving page - which is a phenomenal effort and will make a huge difference to so many people.
