On Tuesday 4th June, members of the Serving the Homeless Committee were invited to an Awards evening organised by Southend YMCA.
As you are aware we had closed the charity at the end of December last year, so it was lovely to be invited back to receive an award for our past service to the YMCA in Southend.
The citation reads:
"Serving the Homeless have made personal sacrifices, whether financial, time, or comfort, sustained over many years to support and uplift homeless individuals and their families. Their fundraising work has been exemplary in the way it has been carried out, all characterised by love."
You will be able to see the certificate in the Parish Centre.
Once again we would like to thank all those parishioners who supported our efforts over the last 34 years.
