"I heard that the church`s Mother & Toddler Group were looking for donations" said Irene Yoong-Henery (pictured centre) "so I phoned them up and offered to donate a car load of toys for the church. I haven`t been before because I go to another church but I was impressed with the friendliness and warmth I received when I arrived. The volunteers at Christ Church do so much wonderful work for the community. I have a garage full of toys and I want to go back again with another load of donations".
