Parish Giving Scheme
We still need more people to support the churches by becoming regular givers and joining the Parish Giving Scheme.
If you have not already done so please consider joining the scheme. If you need more information on how to do this, simply email " target="_blank" rel="noopener">Community Link
Trussel Food Bank
We are still supporting this very worthy cause and are aware that the Summer holidays when there are no school or free meals for children are a difficult time for many families.
Any donations of non perishable items such as tinned meat, tinned fish, tinned fruit, UHT fruit juice and milk would be much appreciated.
Donations can be left in the box in Stoke Prior Church, which is emptied and delivered regularly.
Thank you .
Wychbold Churchyard
An application has been made to the Ministry of Justice to close Wychbold Churchyard. The proposed closure of this churchyard has been made on the grounds that there are no more available burial plots. The Churchyard will remain open for visitors exactly as it is now. The official notice from the Ministry of Justice, is shown below, and explains the limited circumstances where burials can still take place..
