Clearing out our building

We’ve been busy clearing out our building following the sale! Here’s a list of the various items we’ve rehomed:

This box of art supplies went to a local art student.
These weights went to a congregation member’s brother, who is building a home gym.

This furniture was collected by local charity, Betel Newcastle.

We don’t have a photo of the bedding, but three bags of sheets, blankets and towels have been donated to Bryson’s Animal Shelter in Gateshead.

Blackout cloths have gone to a local charity, and tablecloths have gone to a local charity shop:

These bags of stationery have gone to a local volunteer:

Several boxes of decorations have gone to a local Domestic Violence shelter:

These board games have gone to a local family.

The badminton equipment has gone to a local youth club:

These bikes have gone to Recyke y’Byke:

We donated even more bags of stationery to a local children’s group, old furniture was given to Bethel Charity, who work with people with drug and alcohol problems, our kitchen items went to asylum seekers from Afghanistan living in Newcastle, the Henry Hoover went to a local family, and the electric piano to another local family who needed one for their son:

Our old files and historical records have gone to Tyne and Wear Archives, and we’ve taken all our historial items to Harris Manchester College in Oxford (there was a lot, as you can see below – Louise handed them over to the College’s representative at the 2024 General Assembly in Daventry):

And the plants have found new homes!
