The villages of Hemyock, Clayhidon and Culmstock are twinned with a similar group of villages on the River Loire in France.
An urgent appeal has been launched to supply new pencils and small packets of pencil crayons for a school in Syria where teachers are trying to educate around 5000 refugee children in shifts of 100. The school is built of breeze blocks covered with a tarpaulin and there is no equipment at all.
The appeal has been launched by the wife of the Bishop of Stepney, who has visited the area, and it is hoped a parcel will be sent to her from the Upper Culm Valley. week beginning 18th February.
If you would like to make a donation of pencils/crayons please email jbawler1947@hotmail.co.uk for further details. Alternatively gifts may be left at our house. Thank you
