The Kirton & Falkenham Emergency Plan
09/12/21 15:22
Dear Parishioner
In 2018 the Kirton & Falkenham Parishes Emergency plan was updated. In the process many of you registered that you may, under difficult circumstances, be willing and able to offer some assistance. A few also registered, that they may be vulnerable and possibly in need of some assistance in emergencies.
With the occurrences of “The Beast from the East” winter and the current pandemic, the plan has been found to be ineffective and, with the General Data Protection Regulations being in force, it has been unsustainable in its current form. Because of the regulations the lists of people offering assistance and of those possibly needing help have been withdrawn. Read More...

Afghanistan
01/09/21 19:08
I'm sure you have all seen the horrific scenes coming from Afghanistan, and the terrible tragedy that is unfolding.
Suffolk County Council have already helped a small number of families and there is the anticipation that help will be needed by more displaced families.
At this current time, they have no need for any donations, but this may well change over coming weeks. Therefore, if this requirement changes, i am hoping to organise a collection of items that could be used or are needed - this may be anything from food to toys, clothing or bedding. Some families arrive with literally all they are wearing so will be in need of any items to help them start their new life here.
I have registered my details with SCC and will keep you posted as to how things stand, but I know we are a generous, caring community and therefore hope that you may be able to offer any unused or unwanted items, should the call arise.
I cannot begin to comprehend what these poor people have been through, or those that are left behind face, but hope that in some small way we could help make those who have arrived here feel welcome and part of our community.
Thank you very much in anticipation.
