The Home Heating Support Fund is closing at the end of March (at least no extension has been announced yet). We have been very successful in paying off fuel debt for individuals with figures up to £1400. If you know of anyone struggling, please let us know. The application process is quick so it’s not too late for a final request.
If you know of anyone who is struggling to heat their house and / or pay their energy bills, please do pass them on to us at Warm Connections, and we would be delighted to advise on ways of reducing your energy consumption and bills.
There is now a Facebook page for Warm Connections https://www.facebook.com/WarmConnectionsScotland. We would love it if anyone could share, like or comment

24/7 Prayer Week
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Please will you join with us to pray for the Salvation of Souls and Revival in Highland Perthshire and across our Nation. We will use the 24-7 Prayer format with the link to the’ sign up grid’ where you commit to pray for the hour/hours that you wish . As we can pray from our own homes there is no limit to the number of people praying at any one time but you may wish to open a designated Prayer Space in your own Church. I leave that entirely to you.
We are registered as Highland Perthshire Churches for the week Sunday 16th April through until Sunday 22nd April starting and finishing at 11am .
There will be some notes sent to you before the start if you join in. While it is always good to pray more it is perfectly acceptable to use your normal prayer time to join in this united time of prayer.
Please can I ask you to encourage your own congregation to participate in this.
If you have any questions or difficulties, please do get in touch do not hesitate to get in touch by email or Tel 07768492803

The Community Larder’s Social Supermarket is open at Offizone on Kenmore Street each Saturday from 11.00am – 12.30pm for customers to purchase dried and tinned goods at a reduced rate – 4 items for £1.
The FoodShare table at the rear of Aberfeldy Parish Church is open 24/7 and often has a variety of goods which would otherwise be sent to the Co-op’s bio-digester. It’s our Christian responsibility to ‘tend the garden’ ie our planet so we can all do our bit to reduce food waste by ‘shopping’ at the FoodShare table from time to time.
Remember, this part of the Larder project is about reducing food waste as well as supporting those feeling the pinch in these difficult times.
If you know of anyone struggling to make ends meet, please let them know about the range of options provided by Breadalbane Community Larder.
The Larder is a joint initiative of several local churches and also involves members of the local community. If you would like to be involved, please contact the team on 07513 652597 or email breadalbanecommunitylarder@btinternet.com
