Hello and welcome to www.helpstjames.org

This website has been established to help fund raising efforts for the St James’ Community Centre at St James’ C of E Primary School in West Malvern. Over the coming weeks and months we will be publishing information about events that we are holding, news on our progress and of course details about how you can get involved and donate.

If you have any questions in the meantime or would like to help us, you can contact the fund raising committee at paul@paulfarrer.com thank you.

• Beauty of the Malverns 2010 Calendar Beauty of the Malverns 2010 calendar has now sold out (only a few copies remain at Pepper and Oz). We have raised over £5000 to date and will have a definite total in the New Year. We would like to thank all the photographers and sponsors (named on calendar) and everyone who has bought a copy (or several!). We have been overwhelmed by the support and enthusiasm from local shops and businesses in selling the calendar at no profit to themselves - they are reason enough to shop local ! A huge thank you to:
