📍 Drop-off point: Collection boxes are located in the Church.
🗓️ Timeline: We’ll be collecting them until mid-March.

Please check your cupboards for any leftovers—every bit helps!

🕯️ [CANDLES FOR UKRAINE] - Donate Your Old Candles!

We are collecting used candle stubs and wax remnants to create vital Trench Candles for soldiers and civilians facing the cold in Ukraine.

These simple, homemade candles are life-savers. Made from old food tins and wax, a single Trench Candle can burn for several hours, providing essential heat for keeping warm and cooking food.

What we need:
- Wax/Candle stubs: any and all bits of wax (old stubs, broken pieces, scented or unscented—if it melts, we can use it).
- Metal tins: clean, empty 400g food tins (must be entirely metal, not plastic-lined).

We CANNOT accept tea lights due to the metal cups.

How to donate:
Please drop off your donations at St Lawrence's church in Bourton on the Hill, Blockley Church or Ebrington Church.

Every little bit of wax is a flicker of hope and warmth for someone in need. Thank you for your support!

Do you have a few hours to spare and would like to volunteer for the North Cotswold Foodbank?

The charity is looking for two people to lead its outlets in Chipping Campden and Stow-on-the-Wold.

Each role would mean volunteering for a few hours per week (but not necessarily every week).

Food bank Manager Kevin Carden said, “There are no special qualifications required – we just want friendly people who have lots of common sense, good organisational skills, and are comfortable using a computer.

“If you want to join a charity which makes a real difference in our area, this could be a real opportunity.”

North Cotswold Foodbank, based in Guiting Power, provides more than 1,700 food parcels every year for more than 4,000 people from its seven outlets in the Cotswolds, and is almost entirely run by volunteers.

The Stow outlet is open on Wednesdays, 10am-12. The Chipping Campden outlet is open on Fridays, 12-1.30pm.

For more information about the Volunteer Lead roles in Stow and Chipping Campden, please go to the website.

If you are unable to afford food, please read how to access help on our website here: https://northcotswold. foodbank.org.uk/get- help/how-to-get- help
