A year of Covid and the inevitable financial problems has caused real difficulties for a significant number of people and as a result is well used. They would welcome help from Thursley in collecting food or financial donations. So a group of us would like to start a regular collection in the village. Their preference is for packets of food eg cereals, pasta, rice and much more, household items such as loo rolls, washing powder, cleaning things and toiletries eg soap, shower gel, toothpaste, and shampoo etc. We are placing a collection box outside both the Three Horseshoes and in the Church porch and we will empty the boxes regularly. For more help or information please ring Marion O’Brien 01252 702235 or Susanna Hunter 01252 702165 We do hope Thursley as a community will be able to help us with this. Marion O’Brien, Hilary Barr, Nina Allen & Susanne Hunter COVID-19 VACCINATIONS Help in Thursley’s team of volunteers are standing by to help anyone in need of transport to attend a vaccination appointment. The volunteers are all insured, have DBS certification and will follow agreed COVID-19 policy and guidance procedures. If you are in need of transport please call the Duty Officer on 07538 201276 and leave a message and you will be called back once the Duty Officer has the name of the volunteer who will drive you.
