Instead of Christmas hampers this year Good Neighbours are working in conjunction with Friends of Pontesbury Library to set up two ‘Pop up Christmas Larders’ – one in Minsterley and one in Pontesbury.

The aim is to provide food and Christmas goodies to those who have found themselves on low incomes due to the pandemic or are on their own and need a little ‘Christmas Cheer’.  In previous years the people of Pontesbury have always given in abundance and we are hoping that it will be the same this year; alongside the donations, FOPL will be providing bags of Christmas cheer which will include, quiz books, colouring books, tv times etc.    We can only do this with your help – if you would like to donate please bring any ‘goodies’ into school, we will collect from the school on Friday 10th December .

Thank you from Good Neighbours Pontesbury
