BRIDGE Books of Exeter have been supplying quality Christian books to school libraries over the past few years.

And when members of St Mary's Church in Ross-on-Wye got to hear of this, they asked the company to help provide books for schools in the Ross Benefice.

This is particularly appropriate as 2025 has been designated as the ‘Year of Engagement’ between churches and communities in the Hereford Diocese.

The church’s Inspiring Faith in Schools team presented a large box of books to Brampton Abbotts Primary School last week following several fund-raising events for the purpose.

The school’s headteacher Dan Brearey said: “We are very grateful for the donation as part of our partnership with the local church. It is a wonderful opportunity to bolster our library.”
