Toilet-Twinning project
The Junior Church planned to raise 240GBP to twin a church toilet with a toilet block in the developing world, with a sponsored walk around Farmoor Reservoir. It costs 60GBP to twin to a single toilet, 240GBP to twin with a block.
The walk took place and we congratulate everyone on raising more than double the target : 524.35GBP! This is enough money to twin five of our toilets with latrines in Democratic Republic of Congo and, to twin the toilets off the main hall with a school block in Malawi. We have the certificates ready for when the toilets are open.
You may still like to consider twinning your home loos.

OWNS
Oxford Winter Night Shelter
Due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the Oxford Winter Night Shelter which have supported was not able to operate last winter. All rough sleepers were accommodated under the Everyone In initiative.
However, the Oxford Winter Night Shelter is delighted to be working with St Clements Parish Property to set up a new day support centre, based in the St Clements area, to offer respite, hospitality and encouragement to those who are homeless and vulnerably housed.
The new day centre, to be known as the Living Room, will provide support in a small and friendly environment to its guests, specially targeting those more able to engage in this setting. OWNS will work closely with agencies to obtain referrals to the centre and to provide joined-up support. It is hoped that the Living Room will be able to open its doors in September 2021. The next few months will be spent in refurbishing the venue and finalising the operations.
OWNS is now raising funds to help fill the day centre with smaller items such as mugs and bowls, and larger items like chairs and laptops.If you would like to make a donation follow this link:
