Beginning the “Lunches in Schools” Project
Hi Readers. We will be beginning the “Lunches in Schools” Project in September. We’ll be preparing and delivering free lunches to children in low decile schools who regularly arrive at school without lunch. Funds for these lunches will come from the sale of second-hand adult clothes and shoes from our Charity Shop, opening next Thursday (29th) at 24 John Street – hours 11am-3pm, Mon-Fri.
If any in this group has retail experience and can volunteer 4 hours, one day a week, it would be really great to hear from you.

JACKIE STEWART
UK, 2023, Documentary, 95 mins
Cast: Jackie Stewart, François Cevert, Jochen Rindt, Helen Stewart
This documentary shines a light on Formula 1 World Champion, team owner and legend of the sport, Sir Jackie Stewart.
Using previously unseen footage, Sir Jackie’s life is detailed from his early years in Scotland, to the rush of his first F1 World Championship title in 1969.
Stewart's fame and success was followed by tumultuous times when, despite opposition from those who wanted F1 to be ‘gladiatorial’, Stewart set out to improve racing safety for drivers and pit crews.
Whether you're a new fan or a lifelong F1 fanatic, this stunning documentary is worth your time. - Race Fans magazine
