The Barn Church is coordinating a collection of educational materials, toys and equipment for our ‘sponsor school’ in Lusaka, Zambia. We’ve been working with the school for several years and many of our members support the orphan children who got to it via the Umunandi charity.
The charity’s founders, Ruth and Mark Chitty, who used to live in Kew, are making their annual trip out to see the school in the first week in July. This is a great opportunity to deliver much-needed supplies. Here is what is needed…it’s a long list!
If you can help provide anything then please bring donations to The Barn Church any Sunday (there will be a donation box) or contact Susie Hancock (Umunandi Trustee) on 07712 766 877 to make arrangement to drop them off in Kew. You can also bring them to the Summer Community Fair on Saturday 24 June if that’s more convenient. All donations need to be with Susie by Sunday 25 June at the latest.

On Saturday 17th June we will be joining in The Great Get Together under the oak tree at the West end of the Barn Church, on the corner of Marksbury Avenue and Atwood Avenue, from 3pm until 6pm.
There will be lots of fun activities and music throughout the afternoon, as well as an opportunity to discuss all that is good in our community. Do come for the afternoon, or pop in for part of it.
The purpose of the Great Get Together is to remember Jo Cox MP, who was murdered during the EU referendum campaign a year ago. Jo Cox’s well known phrase, “We have far more in common with each other than things that divide us” has become the watchword for current efforts at community-building across the country.
So bring your picnic, help us cut a special cake, write a message about what is good in our community or take part in the big balloon release at 5.30. The event is entirely free – bring your family, invite your firends: come and help us make our community stronger.
For more information, please contact the Vicar, Peter Hart on 020 8392 1425
