We hope that our new website will help you to find out more about Desford Free Church. Watch out for new pages and lots of new information appearing over the next few weeks. Desford Food Bank A big thankyou to everyone who donated to the Food Bank last year. It has made an incredible difference to so many families. Thankyou also to the businesses, sports clubs and schools who have also supported our work with donations. Over the past year we have collected on average £120 worth of food every week, and been able to help 140 families comprising nearly 500 people. It is very sad that this work is so essential, but it remains so. Over the Borough demand has risen by 30% over the last year. Many people, through no fault of their own, suddenly find that after paying the bills there is not enough left to feed the family. It only takes an unexpected event, often a health crisis, to tip the balance and folk who were coping OK find themselves in an unsustainable position. For anyone who finds themselves in this fix, we are open at Desford Free Church every Wednesday from 11.15-1.15. Do come along and see us. You’ll find a friendly group of people and a cup of tea and a biscuit. We are here to help. A Happy New Year to you all. Sue and the team at Desford Food Bank Rev Duncan KeysI am the new Minister of Desford Free Church - since 1st September 2023
