Message from Rev Alison at St James. St James church has been chosen as one of the Co-op Local Community Fund beneficiaries for 2025-26. Their old boiler will need to be replaced with a more sustainable and efficient system in the near future with an estimated cost of £30-£40k so all contributions will be very welcome. Would you, if you are a Co-op member consider choosing St James as your local cause to support this year? If so simply log in to your account online and select St James. This can also be done via the Co-op app.
