The annual charity Christmas sale at Shoreham Methodist Church tied in with the usual coffee morning on Saturday.

Stalls were set up at the Brunswick Road church and they were bursting with Christmas cards, diaries, soft toys and other Christmas goodies.

Jackie Gillespie, from the church, said: “Every penny raised goes to the charities on this day. We charge no fee from the charities for this coffee morning, merely taking our usual tea and coffee money.”
