We are looking for keen crafters to help us in our Christmas Hearts Campaign. During Christmas 2022, a volunteer made some hearts for the Garden House Christmas Tree. A year later, one of our Street Chaplains saw the hearts and asked if some could be made to give out on the streets of Peterborough. The volunteer and Julie (Volunteer Co-Ordinator) made 100 hearts and the Street Chaplains gave them out just before Christmas 2023. The hearts had a card attached telling the recipient that 'they are not alone and are loved by God'. Last Christmas, 120 hearts were created by 12 volunteers. Before they were given out, the hearts spent a weekend on a tree at the All Saints Church Christmas Tree Festival. Giving out the hearts in Peterborough City Centre was pure joy, so many people were touched to be given this small gift. With the help of Light Project Peterborough volunteers as well as volunteers from churches in Peterborough, we also provided another 200 hearts to be put in Christmas bags for Asylum Seekers which contained socks, gloves or hat and food snacks. The vision for Christmas 2025 is to have 1000 hearts to be given out on the streets of Peterborough. If 100 people make 10 hearts we will have 1000. Would you like to help or do you know someone who could help? If yes, then please get in touch with Julie [email protected]

CITB supported Sacrewell Farm on 04 July. Stacey Smith said " We had a great time at Sacrewell." CITB did lots for the animal village in preparation of its grand opening on 16 th August. Stacey and her team painted all the rabbit houses and chicken coops, moved the chicken run and put soil on the chicken wire before moving the rabbit runs into situ. Sacrewell's Livestock Team Lead, Liane, said “It was incredible to see the team from CITB take time out of their busy schedules to volunteer with us for the day. Their dedication was invaluable in helping us create the brand-new Animal Village at Sacrewell, where the public can walk through and get up close to our lovely chickens, rabbits, pig residents plus much more. On behalf of myself and the entire team at Sacrewell, we extend our heartfelt thanks for their amazing help. If a company or organisation would love to take time out of their ‘normal’ everyday life and volunteer with us, please get in contact at [email protected] .”
