FROM BABERGH: With Christmas fast approaching, we wanted to make sure you had the most up to date information about waste collections and recycling over the festive period. Our Christmas bin collection calendars are now available, along with lots of other useful information to share with residents, communities, etc.
We have also now issued our annual collection calendars for 2022 on our website. Residents who have requested a paper copy have been sent one.
Attached are some Christmas graphics which you can use on social media etc. although we will be including some posts on our own channels over coming weeks which we’d encourage you to share.
Please find some useful links to get you started:
· Tool to check your collection day – most residents should know their own collection day, however, anyone who doesn’t have internet access can contact our waste team to check.

TOWER AND WAR MEMORIAL FUND This was set up to raise funds for the renovation of the Tower and the War Memorial Clock. A 100 Club ran every month until Covid began in 2020 and now that the cost of the clock conversion has been covered, it may be time to call a halt. There could still be a need for the Club to continue in that the Parish Council cover the annual service cost and perhaps the club could cover this in future plus providing a payment to helmaintain the Church Tower. The current operators, David Finch and Jean Boyes no longer wish to continue to run the 100 Club and therefore wonder if any people in the village wish to continue it ( a minimum of two people required). Please contact Dave Finch on 280219 for further information. |

Home-Start in Suffolk – Volunteers Needed!
Home-Start in Suffolk is a charity which supports families across the county where there is at least one child under the age of 12. Families maybe in need of support for a variety of reasons, because of post-natal depression, illness or disability, isolation, family breakdown or bereavement.
We train and recruit volunteers who support families by visiting them in their homes on a weekly basis. We are seeking more volunteers to help us to meet the growing number of families in need of Home-Start support in the Bury St Edmunds area. Details are available to download here.
