OLD MOBILE PHONES WANTED:
“I have a child in my class who is severely autistic and struggles with the curriculum. Hearts and Minds collects old mobile phones in exchange for a brand new iPad, which will help him with his schoolwork.  I need to collect 136 phones to exchange for an iPad.   Please could you help by donating your old phone - it can be any mobile phone as long as it still has the battery in the back. It does not need a charger.   There is a box at the back of the church for the phones.
Thank you.”
