There is a collection of goods for the Syrian refugees being taken from various places in Badenoch.  The nearest collection point is the Newtonmore Grill.  They are looking especially for tents, tarpaulins, sleeping bags, blankets, footwear of all sizes, and warm clothes, but camping cooking gear, hygiene items and almost anything else you can imagine needing in temporary situations would also be appreciated.

Small locally-made nativity decorations are available, being sold in aid of Mary’s Meals for a suggested donation of £2.
