Following in the footsteps of sadly discontinued The Bolster, its aim is to serve the community with updates from around the parish.
If you'd like to contribute any local news or announcements (be that a sports club, community group, or personal story), please get in touch.
At some point in the future we hope to create a printed version of the news for those not online but this will depend on the success of the online version.

A couple of important updates
We are looking for a Treasurer.
As we continue strengthening the MMI for the future, we are seeking a Treasurer to join our trustee board. This is a key role in helping guide the financial sustainability of the building and shape the next chapter of its story. If you, or someone you know, has financial experience and would like to contribute to a much-loved community space, we would really love to hear from you. Please reply to this email to find out more.
March is Free Will Writing Month.
This March is Free Will Writing Month, and we have partnered with Pullen & Davies Solicitors to offer the opportunity to have your will written. There is no obligation to leave a gift to the MMI, but many people choose to remember a place they care about in this way.
If you have been meaning to sort your will, this is a thoughtful and practical time to do it. And if you would like to find out more about leaving a legacy to the MMI, we would be very happy to share the details.
We hope to see you here very soon.
Warm wishes,
Hilary and The MMI Team
