he money has been raised through monthly coffee mornings and an annual visit to the church by the Gospel Crusaders Choir at Stonebroom Methodist Church.

In a letter of thanks from the society, volunteer Freya Smith has thanked the Alfreton Action Group for all their efforts “to bring the Bible to life.”
