The Mary Thompson Fund, of which Bishop Terry is a patron, exists to support refugees and people seeking asylum in the Tees Valley. The need is very great with refused asylum seekers in particular experiencing all too real homelessness and destitution. At harvest time, when food and necessities such as toiletries are being collected from Harvest Festivals, the Fund would like to increase the support it is able to give to the most vulnerable and impoverished in our society. Can you possibly help?
Food stuff and toiletries can be delivered to the North of England Refugee Service, 12/16 Woodlands Road, Middlesbrough TS1 3BE or it may be possible to collect. Call 01642217447 or email webmaster@middlesbrough-diocese.org.uk
Tinned, dried, and bottled food stuffs especially chick peas, tomatoes, fish, corned beef, rice and cooking oil are desperately needed as are toiletries and items for children’s needs.
