An advent calendar with a difference is gifting residents in the estate which surrounds St Peter’s in Quarrendon with a tub of Quality Street chocolates every day.
The church has been running Advent Quality Street for a couple of years and this year, thanks to support from Buckinghamshire Council’s Helping Hand team, a tub of chocolates is hidden in the estate every day.
The Revd Pete Wheeler, vicar at St Peter's, said: “We think that every street on our estate is a Quality Street! Our team of elves who hang a tub on a street sign and then post a clue on our Facebook page.
“Throughout the year I have a lot of people remember what we do, and mention we are the church which gives out chocolate!”
Those who find the chocolates are encouraged to share them with their neighbours and family, spreading the Christmas cheer.
Pete concluded: “It’s a lovely thing to do and most importantly it helps to build trust with people in our community and they know we are here and we care.”
