Saturday 24 February A Concert for Child of Hope. From Joe Stone, curate of St Francis Church, Salisbury writes: Child of Hope runs schools in Eastern Uganda, providing free education, healthcare and welfare to kids from the poorest and most vulnerable families. The Concert for Hope is to raise funds to help furnish and equip two new sixth-form classrooms which Child of Hope are adding to their secondary school. The concert will be from 7:00-9:00pm. If you would like to support the concert, I am looking for donations for the tombola – unwanted Christmas gifts and other high-quality items welcome.
