Charlbury Giving Tree Initiative
Cornerstone and the Christmas Tree Festival are running the Giving Tree Initiative this Christmas to support families who will struggle financially with buying presents.
Trees are now set up in St Marys Church, Cornerstone and the Community Centre. At each tree you can choose an angel decoration which has the details of one child and their present requests. You are invited to spend about £40/£50 on their present ideas and hobbies, and bring the purchased items to Cornerstone by 16th December. A step by step guide is available by the trees. Don't forget to list your details on the sign up sheet.
Do get in touch if you'd like to sponsor just part of a gift parcel or if you would prefer to give us a financial donation and we will do the shopping.
Any queries contact Jo on cornerstone@charlburychurch.uk
Thank you for your support.

Keen to help Charlbury move towards net zero? We have a role for you!
Thomas Gifford Trust, which owns and manages Charlbury Community Centre, is looking for a new trustee to help us achieve our aim of net zero energy usage.
All trustees meet every 2 months (on a Wednesday at 8pm) and are responsible for both the forward-looking strategic decisions about the running of the Community Centre, and also the ongoing management of the trust.
At this time, we are looking for someone who will focus on environmental issues relating to the community centre, specifically our ambition to reach net zero. We would like to better utilize our existing solar panels and install more, and we would like to explore options for replacing our current gas boiler. Can you help?
If you want to learn more about what may be involved, please speak to Chris Potts, Chair of TG Trust (07765 242315) or Daniela Jenkins, Executive Manager (07979 706090), or just call in and speak with us.
We look forward to meeting all interested community members!
