🧡 A huge THANK YOU to the Purley Church of England Primary School! 🧡

Thank you for supporting our Harvest Festival collection once again! 🥰 We were so warmly welcomed into the school to give an assembly, and it was wonderful to hear all the brilliant ideas the children shared with us.

The collection is absolutely amazing, especially from such a lovely, small school community! And what a fantastic team of donation packers you had helping out too! 😁📦

Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for showing such kindness and generosity. Your donations will make a real difference to people in our community who need our support the most.

We’re so grateful to you all — thank you so much! ☺️🧡

A huge thank you to the team of Willmott Dixon Interiors for hiring a skip at Aldermaston Recycling Ltd for us!

It meant we could completely clear the bottom of the garden in under half an hour — with the kind help of the driver, Milan, too! 🙌

It’s looking so much better already, and we have to admit, it was quite therapeutic getting all that rubbish cleared! 😁🧹

Thank you so much to everyone involved for your help and support!
It’s very much appreciated! 🧡🤗

A huge THANK YOU to The Pangbourne Band 🧡

On 19th September, The Pangbourne Band held a fantastic “Saturday Night at the Movies” band night at St Mary’s Church in Purley, raising money for New Beginnings!

It was such an amazing evening — the band sounded fantastic and the event raised nearly £350, as well as two big bags of donations from the band members! 🥰

So much time and effort had gone into making the evening such a success, with a raffle, refreshments and lots of fun along the way. We were made to feel so welcome, and it was a brilliant opportunity to share what we do at New Beginnings and the difference we make in our local community.

A huge thank you to everyone involved, everyone who attended, and of course to The Pangbourne Band for putting on such a wonderful evening and supporting us. 🧡🥰🧡
