EMERGENCY FOOD PARCELS
PARCELS
GIVEN OUT IN JUNE & JULY – 10
Thank
You to everyone who continues to donate food and cash for this project.
July in particular has been hectic, when we had requests for 8 parcels.
Each request was met, but some things had to be bought.
As
you can imagine, the cupboard is just about bare!! If you are able to help
re-stock the cupboard in any way – whether on a one-off or more regular
basis – then please speak to Jon or Liz.
YOUTH CLUB
(Thursdays 6.00-7.30pm, Tuesdays 7.00-9.00pm)
The
younger youth club continues to grow – we regularly have around 20
children, and it can get a little hectic and noisy!! This group ranges
from 8-12 years old and attracts children from both the local estate and
further afield. We always need more people to volunteer to help with this
group – you don’t need to be available every week or have any prior
experience – but you will need patience, a CRB check and to keep your
wits about you! Please talk to any of the current helpers (Jon, Julie
McRobbie, Linda or Liz) for more information.
We
are have been thinking and praying about how to go forward with the older
group, which is aimed at 13-18 year olds. Having spoken to representatives
of Ludlow Youth Centre, we have agreed to try (for a limited period) and
run the older youth club on a Tuesday evening rather than a Thursday
evening, just to see if that encourages more young people to come to our
club. So far we have kept the “regulars” but we have not gained any of
those that hang around the youth centre, but we will persevere!! We expect
that numbers will pick up in September and October as the nights start to
get shorter.
Neither
group will open in August (to give the helpers a well-earned rest!!) but
will re-start at the beginning of September.
BABY CLOTHES BANK
PARCELS
GIVEN OUT IN JUNE & JULY – 0
Thank
you to everyone who has generously contributed to the baby clothes bank so
far, your gifts are much appreciated.
We
do have a lot of stuff at the moment, so if you know of someone who might
appreciate a donation of baby clothes please speak to Liz. We plan to
re-distribute leaflets about the project after the school holidays, to
remind local agencies that this project is up and running.
LUNCH CLUB
The
Lunch Club continues to go from strength to strength, with about 40 people
regularly attending each month. Transport is provided for those unable to
get to the Rockspring Centre under their own steam, and a lunch of
homemade soup, bread and cheese, homemade dessert and tea or coffee is
enjoyed by all.
We
seek to feed both body and soul, so there is also always an epilogue from
someone in the church to encourage those attending to consider the truth
of the Gospel.
The
Lunch Club will meet again on the 2nd Monday in September.
