We encourage our church and the community to bring items which can be used either to generate income for good causes or to support the specific needs of charities we support as a church. Most of these are collected in the Offering House at the main gate of the Kirkyard (see picture). The Kirkyard is open from 8am to 5pm daily, extending to 8pm in July and August. At Christmas and Easter, when the Offering House becomes either the Bethlehem stable or the empty tomb, collections are moved across the road into the Kirk Centre – you will be pointed in the right direction!
Please note that we cannot accept furniture or clothing.
Printer Cartridges
Original HP and Canon inkjet cartridges (no refills) can be recycled in the box in the Offering House. No other makes at present.

Please leave contributions for Starter Packs in the Offering House.
