Sunshine and smiles were the order of the day at St Peter’s 2015 May Fair – an  event that raised funds for both its own Disabled  Ramp Appeal and Veterans  Aid.

 

Stalls selling everything from clothing to cupcakes attracted the crowds.  Visitors were tempted by fresh flowers, garden produce, Pimms and police  horses as they packed into the beautiful Eaton Square church and its grounds.  Normally held every two years this was the first May Fair since  2011 – and a first for new vicar, The Reverend Ralph Williamson – pictured below left with veterans Paul McEwan and David Chaplin.

Members of the charity took  turns to man a small stall and mingle with visitors  who asked about the 83-year-old charity’s  work with ex-servicemen and women in crisis.

CEO Dr _MG_6330Hugh Milroy said, “Sadly I was  unable to attend, but I know our team  enjoyed the event immensely. We were all  touched by St Peter’s generosity in making  us a shared beneficiary of the May Fair.

“The church is  very much a ‘neighbour’ – just 5 minutes away from  our Drop-in Centre in Buckingham Palace Road.” To learn more about St  Peter’s Church click HERE.
