OPERATION Sunshine is preparing to send its final container filled with goods to Zambia next month.

The container will leave Hurdwick Farm, just outside Tavistock, on February 1. The farm is now closed to all deliveries, and no goods of any kind can now be accepted.

A thanksgiving service for the life of the charity will be held at St Eustachius' Church, Tavistock, on January 29 at 2.30pm.
