LMP, 7^th December 7.00 pm

A talk In LMP by Roger Smith (Member of the Royal Geographical Society and qualified Mountain Instructor)

This is to raise money for “The Charlie Waller Memorial Trust”

Charlie Waller had a good career, lots of good friends (500 attended his funeral) and a loving family.  In 1997 at 28 he committed suicide.  Each year around 1760 young men commit suicide.  The Trust was set up to increase the public’s awareness of the symptoms and dangers of depression and remove the stigma attached to mental illness.

This is our church’s main event this year to help another charity.  We spend a lot of effort fundraising for ourselves.  This is an opportunity to work as a church to help someone else.

If by our efforts we can help save just one life, one young man from committing suicide, it will be worth it.

Christmas Carol Singing
