Can you knit or crochet ? This year, St Andrew’s Primary PTA are supporting Team Lewis as their nominated charity at our Ladies Night. The aim of Team Lewis is to provide support for siblings of sick babies in hospital. One of the many great jobs Team Lewis does is to arrange for each baby and their sibling(s) to have matching teddy bears, to enhance bonding. The PTA would like to arrange for as many teddies to be made for this great cause and are appealing for people to help with knitting these items. If you’d be able to assist please phone Anne on 07866 009078 - thanks to an extremely generous donation from a parent’s work, we’re able to provide you with wool, stuffing and patterns.

A.M.D.G. On Sunday 26th April we had a fundraising coffee morning in St Andrew's church hall.
