Help boost our Christmas flower displays

Can you imagine St Mary’s without flowers at Christmas? We can’t, and that’s why we’re asking if you’re able to boost our displays with a small donation to help cover the costs.

If you want to target your donation toward our flowers, you can pass it directly to Shelagh, Dave or Alistair, make a donation to our bank account as usual with FLOWERS as the reference, or head to wkrk.uk/df to donate online.
