To provide for long-term funding for this new venture, it is necessary to build up a good capital base. For this reason we are asking for support from the wide Catholic community.

HOST is a well-established charity which takes care in linking students with volunteer hosts. call HOST 020 7739 6292.
Natural family planningwill be taught in a course of three monthly sessions by the Couple to Couple League beginning on the 15 Nov at 7pm in Beeston.
