Mission to Seafarers
St John's Church has supported the Mission to Seafarers for many years. Coffee mornings are held to raise money for the Mission and someone from the Mission attends to speak and update us about their work. Knitters make woolly hats which are donated to the Mission as many seafarers come from tropical countries and are not used to the cold and damp of northern climes. Knitters also make small, lightweight teddy bears which are donated to seafarers so they can send them as gifts to their children back home.
