Notre Dame High School sponsored walk
22 July 2024
We were one of the lucky recipients of a generous donation from Notre Dame High School, having been chosen by the students as one of the charities to benefit following their recent sponsored walk, to Whitlingham Broad and back. Caroline Hill, our service coordinator, was invited by Headteacher Tom Pinnington to attend the school's end of year celebration & was delighted to receive this oversized cheque!

Cloth of Kindness
25 June 2024
"The Drop-In room at The Magdalene Group received an exciting new addition this month with the presentation of a piece of textile art created by clients of our Doorway Women's Service with support from Sally-Anne & Gill from Cloth of Kindness. The fabric is constructed from squares, each hand sewn by a client and expressing what love and kindness mean to them as individuals. Each square is very different and very personal, with interpretations as varied as a shower, a cup of coffee, courage, light in the darkness, support, encouragement and friendship. The joined up squares have been backed with a soft, thick fabric to create a comforting blanket which now covers a chair and can be used by clients when warmth and love are particularly needed." Lucy Macleod, Trustee
