Thanks

Many thanks to all who came to the quiz night last week at the Unity Centre. We were treated to a delicious chilli with jacket potato, challenged by Len’s questions and enjoyed the company of friends.

Thanks also to Clare and Jean who were in charge of the food, Len for the questions and Charles, Sally and Niamh for setting up/clearing away. The evening raised £280.

There will be a box at the back of church on Sundays where donations can be placed.

Bottle top recycling

Collecting bottle tops for charity.

I’ve long been aware of the horrendous rate the world ‘throws away’ plastic and have tried, in my small way, to send what I can to recycling. I’ve now discovered a wonderful source for most plastic bottle top/lids!

This organisation, Bottle Tops for Charity Community group, run by volunteers,collects all clean type 2, 4 and 5 plastic lids. The lids are weighed, bagged up and transported to the recycling company. After processing, the funds are shared between the following – British Heart Foundation, Dementia UK, Cancer Research UK, Parkinsons UK, Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance and Great Ormand Street Hospital. This company has pick-up points in Holbeach, Kirton, Sutton,Peterborough, The Deepings, Bourne, Pinchbeck – and now we can add STAMFORD,ALL SAINTS!

Most plastic bottle tops are accepted – gravy lids, sauce bottle tops, drink bottle tops, washing detergent lids, peanut butter lids. Just make sure the plastic is solid and not flimsy! Any colour will do. Oh, and CLEAN tops please.

There is a large plastic box at the back of the church; I will empty the box every weekend then take the plastic over to Market Deeping for processing.

So, even if you just rinse and pop the plastic milk bottle tops into a box under the sink,you’re stopping extra landfill occurring and donating money to all those charities – what’s not to like!!
