It was the tradition at Harecroft Methodist church to hold a series of Summer charity Coffee Evenings. Over a number of years they raised a considerable amount of money for a variety of causes. Apart from the aspect of raising money it was always a lovely social occasion and as much a part of our local summer tradition as Wimbledon, Test Matches etc and very much looked forward to.
Sadly with the closure of Harecroft this has been one of the many things we have all missed and it was decided that, partly as a tribute to our friends from Harecroft, as a way of raising money for charity and not least to continue a very pleasant social tradition, we would hold similar coffee evenings at Wilsden Trinity Church on the second Monday of each month during the summer. They have been most successful so far. The first one in May raised around £250 for The Air Ambulance and the two subsequent evenings raised similar amounts for The Parkinson's Society and the Alzheimer's Society respectively.
The next one is on Monday 9 September and will support Martin House Children's Hospice. Please come along and join us. You will be made most welcome and can be sure of a pleasant evening.
