CAN YOU HELP?
As we near the start of our building project we are reaching out to ask if members can help with practical matters. This week we are asking about STORAGE space. We are clearing the building and have a number of items that need to be stored off-site during the building work. Do you have any spare, secure and weatherproof storage that we could utilise? Do you have any space in your garden to house one of our outdoor benches or seats.
If the answer is ‘Yes’ or you have any alternative suggestions, please get in touch with Sarah Langsford on 020 8457 8787 or send an email: sarah@alyth.org.uk. Thank you!
Emergency Careline – 020 8457 8798 Please use this number if you need urgent pastoral support, for example in cases of hospitalization or bereavement. This number will be answered by a member of the Alyth professional team.
