From Waltham Cottage: Dear amazing congregation of St Martins Church – our heartfelt thanks for the lovely gifts you donated. This year more than 90 gifts were wrapped and we were thrilled to have such good quality gifts to give out, especially for men and older boys. Your continued support throughout the year with the food donations and with the Christmas presents is extremely appreciated by the community. God bless, Adrienne & Cheryl.
