St Margaret's West HoathlySeptember 19th, 2018 at 9:01pmThank you to everyone who supported the Courtlands Garden Party in aid of the church extension fund on Monday. You raised a stonking £807 and this, with a very generous donation also received this week, means we only have to raise another £10k before we can start to build. 🙏👷♂️

St Margaret's West HoathlySeptember 12th, 2018 at 4:24pmThank you to everyone who supported Saturday’s quiz night for the extension fund.

St Margaret's West HoathlyAugust 26th, 2018 at 7:14pmCalling all knitters and crochet workers! St Thomas‘ neonatal care unit in London would love some more baby squares - they have an ongoing need for them in neonatal intensive care and every one that’s donated is appreciated (dropped stitches and all). So dig out those knitting needles and half used bundles of wool and get knitting!
