East Malling Area Branch update from Rochester Diocese

Our branch currently has 14 members, but of course in Lockdown we have not all been able to meet up yet.

03 Jul 2020

We are all keeping in touch by email and phone and have been keeping busy at home either self-isolating or helping locally with neighbours.  Some of our members have been shopping for neighbours and walking dogs for those staying indoors.  Many members have been busy gardening in their own property and some of our members have kept themselves busy with knitting, crotchet and other crafts including making blankets for an orphanage in Tanzania.A few of us have met for a walk and a cup of tea in an out door cafe and we are avidly looking forward to being able to meet up again in larger numbers.Frances SelmanSecretaryEast Malling Area BranchFor more stories form Rochester Diocese click here
