  • Twin Your Cot with one at 1000 Hills Baby Room

    Twin Your Cot with one at 1000 Hills Baby Room

    There's been a baby boom in the valley of 1000 Hills and demand for places in the 1000 HCH baby room has never been higher. Providing a safe place for these babies means that their Mum's can resume their education or working life knowing that their little ones will be safe for the day. To help with the operational costs we're launching a Twin a Cot scheme linking cots at nurseries in the UK with a cot in KwaZulu Natal - can you help?

Each year the church selects a local charity, alternating between national and international causes, to be the recipient of some of the fundraising activities of the congregation. We're really pleased to be chosen and look forward to lots of engagement with the URC during the year.
