A very special thank you to the good folk of Skinner Street URC. They so very kindly made up Christmas goodie and gift bags for the guys and gals and they enable us not only to provide somewhere for the Christmas Day lunch but also the regular drop-in facilities and to have office facilities and storage space for the many donations of clothes and sleeping bags, etc. Thank you.

The end of 2011 brought a number of very welcome donations of both money, food and clothes. We are truly grateful to all those who have been kind enough to think of us and the guys and gals that we seek to help. And no matter how small “every little helps” as we have so often been told by a certain retailer:
• Holy Angels Church for £225
• Canford Magna Churches for £105
• Buckland Road Baptist Church for £31
• Broadstone Methodist Church for £50
• Liverpool Victoria for food, toiletries, clothing, footwear and cash collection
• Kellogg’s for breakfast cereals
• TwoToo for fleece scarves
• Holy Angels Concert raising £364
• Lantern Church for £350
• St George’s Church, Oakdale for £100
• Various individuals for donations totalling £290
• Church of the Transfiguration Concert raising £400
• Various individuals for donations of food and gifts for Christmas
Some of the money raised is going towards providing a cooked breakfast at The Fisherman Café in Poole for those who are rough sleeping. We may not have had the snow that we had in 2010 but the weather has still been very uncomfortable with rain and high winds, so a hot meal to start the day is a very literal lifeline for these people. A big THANK YOU to The Fisherman Café for again working with Routes to Roots to make this happen.
Wishing you all a Very Happy New Year!

You may have received an email from us recently. A number of local shops have combined together on the Ragtangle.com Shopping Village and are offering to donate 5% if you write the words “Routes To Roots” in the customer notes at checkout.
The shops are Lumin-Essence (Poole Dolphin Centre), The Village Vine (Ashley Cross) & Fleur De Lys (also Ashley Cross).
Between all of the shops, there is a wide range of wines, flowers, candles (including Yankee Candles), home gifts and glassware. To visit the combined website, go to www.ragtangle.com !
Don’t forget to write the words “Routes To Roots” in the customer notes at checkout! Then we get 5% donated straight back to Routes To Roots!

Choral Evensong
Sunday, 7th August, 6:30pm – Wimborne Minster
Monday, 8th August, 6:30pm – St Mary’s, Winterborne Whitechurch

The pilgrimage group is made up of young people from St Peter’s and from neighbouring churches. We aim to walk from church to church and hope that the experience will bring to all who are taking part a sense of journeying towards God and drawing closer to His love. We are also aiming to raise some funds for Routes to Roots, so if you would like to sponsor us through the secure link on this site (see donate box at the top of this page), you will be passing this direct to Routes to Roots.
We are delighted that each evening St Peter’s Choir will be meeting us at our destination church and will be singing Choral Evensong. It should be a real treat both for the Choir and hopefully for those who come to the services.
We are extremely grateful to the churches who are so generously hosting us over the days of our journey and we hope and pray that they too will find this an enjoyable experience. We look forward to meeting with you in August and to starting the ‘holiday’ part of the year with a real celebration of our faith.
With every blessing
St Peter’s Youth Group and Choir
