Support for Ukraine

17/3/2022

0 Comments

 
All of us are aware of the war unfolding in Ukraine and its impact on people's lives there, and here. Grange residents are always willing to support people in difficulty in our town and surrounding villages, and internationally. We are supporting Ukrainian people in a variety of humanitarian ways - doing what we can, when we can.

To date, there were quick collections of clothes, medicines, toiletries, children's items, sleeping bags and tents which were sent to central collection depots in the North West and taken to Ukraine. 

Churches Together held a vigil at the Millennium Peace Pavement in the Ornamental Gardens on 12/03/22 to share thoughts and prayers for people suffering in both Ukraine and Russia.

Coming up is a fundraising concert with the band Black Sheep on Monday 28/03/22 from 6pm - 9pm in the Victoria Hall, organised by local, Polish resident, Ania, whose family in Poland are directly involved in charities working across the border with Ukraine to assist refugee families in need. This free concert is to say thank you to all the people who have already donated, and is also part of her ongoing fundraising efforts. 

Please see our What's On page for more details.

Grange Town Councillor Mrs Tricia Thomas, is encouraging us all to join in her BIG little Carol Sing on Christmas Eve at 4.30pm
The format will be like the "Clapping for the NHS" we all did over the summer, but this time lets sing a couple of Carols & help lift everyone's spirits at what is going to be a very difficult & lonely Christmas for a lot of us.
The carols Tricia has chosen are: Jingle Bells (one verse & the Chorus) and We Wish You A Merry Christmas.  If you need the words to these carols CLICK HERE
​

The BIG little Carol Sing
When – 4:30 pm Christmas Eve
Where – Your Doorstep
What – Like ‘Clap for Carers’ but this is Carol singing for us all.
1 ‘Jingle bells’  
2 ‘We wish you a merry Christmas’
3 Cheers! Clapping!  
4 ‘Merry Christmas Everyone!’

SPREAD THE WORD & LETS SEE IF WE CAN'T GET THE WHOLE OF THE CARTMEL PENINSULA SINGING!!

Due to the new lockdown for November, the format for Remembrance Sunday will be as follows and not as given in Grange Now:
The poppy organisers will place the wreaths on the War Memorial first thing Sunday morning.
The Mayor will read out the names of the fallen and lay one wreath on behalf of the Town Council and the people of Grange at 11am and observe the 2 minutes silence.
On Wednesday 11th November, a member of the Royal British Legion will lay a wreath and observe the 2 minutes silence at 11am.  The Royal British Legion Standard Bearer will be in attendance on both days.

If you have your own wreath or would like to pay your own respects, please do so outside of these times.  Please be respectful of others and maintain social distancing at all times.

Hopefully we will be back to normal in 2021.
