Young SVP are hoping to run a Christmas raffle in aid of the local branch of St Vincent de Paul. The demand for SVP services is greater than ever this Christmas and we would really like to be able to contribute in some way to the valuable work they do in our local communities. It is with a heavy heart that we are unable to run our annual food drive due to Covid restrictions. Instead we are currently looking for any donations of prizes towards our Super Christmas Raffle. Any donations would be greatly appreciated and can be dropped in to Karen at reception.
