Church fundraiser is more than grand

Southend Parish Church raised an amazing £1,324 at a coffee morning held in St Blaan’s Hall on Saturday September 23.

The fundraiser featured all the usual stalls, from bottle and baking to plants and produce, and attracted visitors of all ages, including multiple generations of families.
