Our Harvest project for 2010 was to support the Vine Trust. As part of that project we were able to collect used glasses. Photos of the Sunday School children washing, cleaning, drying and packing used spectacles for sending out Peru for use by The Vine Trust can be seen in the Gallery.

The flooded Sacred ValleyThe Casa Girasoles streetchildren's centre located in the Sacred Valley near to Machu Picchu has been destroyed by recent flooding in Peru which has destroyed over 3000 homes. A video, including some dramatic footage of the roof collapsing, can be viewed here. The centre, supported by the Vine Trust and SU Peru, houses 40 streetchildren. The welfare of the children is the main priority as SU Peru look for temporary accommodation for everyone involved. More information is available here.

The charity cruise held on 30th July 2008 onboard the PS Waverley, and supported by Barony St John's along with other local churches was a huge success. Over 670 people were on board and raised the magnificent sum of £4540. Ordinary people, once again, in the Three Towns and beyond have helped to make a difference in Peru. Photos and a video of the evening can be viewed at www.charitycruise.info.
