People were challenged to make cardboard houses for display in the church and this is the result. We achieved the 100 houses and this was to raise awareness of CHAT - the Churches Housing Action Team We raised over £600 for CHAT on the day which is a wonderful sum Thank you all very much, for those who made the houses and those who came. Those who set it all up deserve huge praise, it went excellently and was lovely to see the church and community coming together for such a worthwhile local cause. The houses will remain in the church for a week or so, if any of you want to collect your house to take home, please do If anyone has any photos that they would like added to this album, please e mail them to rewe@netherexe.org and we will do our best to include them
