A wonderful gesture from Oldham Parish Church

Rev Derek Palmer from Oldham Parish Church

Oldham Parish Church has donated £500 to help Mahdlo continue to support its members and their families with activity packs during lockdown.

Rev Derek Palmer said: “Closed doors cannot stop us continuing to support the communities we are called to serve.

"We are Easter people – life and love will find a way."

Mahdlo's activity packs are filled with games, arts and crafts, active challenges, DVD’s, board games and so much more designed to keep young people and their families engaged and entertained whilst they are at home.

Can you help? Do you have DVD's sat at home unwatched? Colouring pencils that you no longer have a use for?

Maybe a board game that you haven't touched in years?

Please consider donating any items that Mahdlo can distribute to those that need them most.

Email: Lucy.Lees@mahdloyz.org for more information about dropping off donations or how else you can support Mahdlo during this difficult time.
