The first FoT Family Disco was a success, 50 families enjoyed a dance, a drink, a limbo competition and the buffet. It was the first time some families had gone out all together, no need to find a babysitter for this event. Although there were some tired children at 9pm, hopefully everyone enjoyed a lye in on Saturday morning.
Special thanks to George the DJ and all the helpers on the door, bar, buffet and for cleaning up.
Although this was a community event we still did really well, raising £438 for equipment for the School.
'When's the next one?' was asked lots, we do need more help to run the events. The next disco for the children is Wednesday 21st July but it will be open to parents as well if they wish to come along.

Friends of Trinity collected any unwanted textiles on Tuesday 20th October
Clothes, curtains, bedding, shoes etc have been taken away, to be weighed, sorted and sent to Africa.
We gave 162 bags, which weighed 729 kilos and raised £291.60 beating the collection in March which raised £147.
This is an amazing cause:
- we can have a clear out
- recycling our unwanted textiles
- give them to people who really needed
- promote community spirit.
- AND raise money for FoT.
Thank you for supporting this cause and helping so many people!

Ever thought of jumping out of an aeroplane at 15,000 feet for charity? Me neither. However the brave (mad) Secretary of Friends of Trinity Marie Purvis will be doing just that in the New Year in Exeter, thanks to her husband Lee who booked the "experience" on her behalf and told her after.
Marie will be raising money for Friends of Trinity and would really love your support and sponsorship.
Good Luck Marie, I'm sure the time will fly by!
