Baby Basics Liverpool
Each year at Allerton URC we have had
a tremendous response when collecting for Food Banks. Now the church is asking
for your support in donating to this organisation.
Baby Basics Liverpool is a volunteer-powered baby bank supporting
infants and parents experiencing hardship.
Working closely with health
professionals and other agencies, they provide new and excellent quality
preloved items for infants whose families are struggling to cope with the
financial and practical challenges of caring for a baby.
There are many ways in which we can
donate:
·
Donating
pre-loved items; they are desperate for Moses baskets, blankets and 0-3 months
clothing.
·
New
items, such as toiletries for baby; nappies; baby wipes etc.
·
Finally,
we can donate money.
So how can you help?
We hope to run this project until
Harvest Festival in September/ October so, in the meantime:
Share this information with families
and friends – help spread the word
Donate items that are listed by
bringing them to church
And, for all you knitters/crocheters
out there, please get knitting or crocheting.

Ongoing Notices
We like to use the computer, projector and screen for our services here at Allerton.
There is quite a bit of preparation that goes into having hymns and readings on
the screen and we would like to spread the workload as best we can. If you or a
member of your family are familiar with Microsoft PowerPoint and can spare a couple of hours once a month to assist with the setting up of a PowerPoint
presentation, we would like to hear from you. Please speak to Ruth Winterburn
or Charles Lasham.
