Your support for this year’s Jar of Grace appeal has allowed us to send a further £448.30 to UNICEF which brings the total sent so far to £1386.37. As a few folk have said that they still wish to hand in a Jar of Grace, this amount may well increase. Thank you again for your generous support of children caught up in emergencies around our world.
