SVP CASH FOR COINS SCHEME: After a great holiday abroad we have all experienced the inconvenience of having left over currency which remains unused. You may possibly have old coins and banknotes which are no longer legal tender. Throwing it away may seem like a waste, however as you can't change it at the bank it just sits in a drawer or cupboard gathering dust. You can now donate this unused currency to the St Vincent de Paul Society to help people in need. Please use the money box behind the back pew in the church.
