Creative and green fingered parishioners of St Thomas Moore RC Church in Twyford are recycling to raise money for charity.
Heike Conroy of Earley puts to good use all those candle ends which mount in so many cupboards.
She melts down candle remnants from local Roman Catholic and Anglican churches and other supporters. The wax is then poured into molds to become attractive Easter egg, flower and beehive shaped candles.
Meanwhile, her friend Mel Noronha of Woodley has been growing plants and bulbs to sell alongside the candles and Easter decorations in aid of Roman Catholic international development charity Cafod.
