SHELTERBOX COLLECTION


£590.00
Our First Box Complete!

Following reports of yet another global disaster, causing massive human suffering and homelessness, Anne Swinscow, a resident of Diptford, had the brilliant idea of fundraising for a Shelterbox from the people of Diptford. So with the help of Kathy Burkin and Nancy Hill an appeal was launched with a book sale at Cross Farm. This was followed by a stall at the parish hall and a fun family kurling event. With the help of Diptford school and further generous donations from Diptford residents we now have a total of:
£665.50

Our first box is waiting to be allocated and can now be tracked.

Thankyou for helping us to reach our target for our first box.
Following more donations we now have £290.55 towards our next box.


Track the Shelterbox

Shelterbox have written to thank you all for your very generous donations and to confirm that a box from Diptford is ready to be allocated.

If you would like to track the box you can log on to their website at www.shelterbox.org/trackbox.php
Our box number is 62376.

As it is not known where or when the next disaster will strike, it may take a little time before our box is delivered to its final destination. However, when it is it will make a huge difference to a family who have lost everything.

Your generosity has not only paid for a complete box from Diptford, at a cost of £590.00, it also left a sizeable balance towards another one. Recent donations have brought our present balance to £359.49 – well over half way to a second box.
If you would like to make a contribution to the next Diptford box, we would love to hear from you.

Thank you once again.

Anne Swinscow, Kathy Burkin, Nancy Hill.

DIPTFORD'S STEEPLE RENOVATION
*****VIDEO *****

We are pleased to say that the steeple video is available now....here

 

 

 

CHEAPER OIL FOR AVONWICK, DIPTFORD AND NORTH HUISH?

It seems both Avonwick/North Huish and Diptford have the same aims - to try and get cheaper oil for parishioners. There are fifteen houses in the Avonwick area and about thirty houses in Diptford that have already expressed an interest, but we are certain that more will now come on board.

Steve Hill and Maggie Luscombe felt that combining our efforts would give us better bargaining power and we have come up with a scheme which hopefully will provide us with cheaper oil.

More details......

Currently we get most of the information from the Parish Magazine which means putting all the updates in when it is published.

If people can let us know when they have information to put on to the website, or, just as importantly, take off the site when it is no longer relevant, we can give a better service.

Please contact us, either by Email through the site or by phone:
