If you have a Church of England Children’s Society collecting box, please telephone Honor Prest on 01653 628151 to arrange its collection. Honor, who has been box secretary for Slingsby and area for many years, has collected thousands of pounds for this worthwhile charity which does vital work in supporting children in need. Reluctantly, she has to give it up due to ill health. If anyone feels able to take on this responsibility, which involves distributing and collecting the boxes once a year, please contact her.
