We have been busy handing out over 100 shoeboxes to supporters of the Operation Christmas Child shoebox project. If you are still looking to get involved then please call into the office this week and fill ready for National Collection Week from Monday. Thanks everyone foe your support.

Thanks for supporting the Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child project, the first 100 are all gone so we ordered another 50 shoeboxes which arrived this morning.

National collection week starts on the 14th November if you would like to get involved by collecting one to fill and return next week please pop into the office. Even if you haven't got time to fill a box but would like to donate some items like the creator of these fabulous hedgehogs then that would be great as well.

The list of acceptable items can be found here: https://cdn.samaritans-purse.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Gift-Suggestions-and-FAQs-2021.pdf I will make sure we have plenty of boxes made up in the amos office ready for quick collection. Thanks everyone.

On Friday 31st October 2025, the Hockley Village shopping area was bursting with spooky excitement as hundreds of families came out to enjoy the Hockley Halloween Trail. With eerie smoke drifting through the streets, catchy Halloween tunes in the air, and friendly ghouls greeting youngsters.

Selling your home is a bit like throwing a party, you tidy every corner, light the candle you usually just display, and hope people turn up and love the place as much as you do. Ask us about Open Homes, and you might open the door to a crowd of curious buyers.
