We are delighted that you want to spend a bit of time looking around our church website. We hope that you'll find what you're looking for and begin to understand a bit about what we believe and why we believe God has us here.
However, more than just reading and perusing this site, we hope that you'll feel inclined to visit us, try out our style of contemporary Christianity and belong to the great things that God is doing.
School holidays are not just a break from the classroom. For many, they are also a break from hot meals.
For the thirteen weeks of school holidays this year, many pupils in the UK will not eat a hot meal each day. At school more than 1.2 million pupils who may otherwise go without are eligible to receive free school meals. Outside of term time though, free school meals are not available and many pupils are left without regular hot food.
We are a small team of local Christian volunteers who have been working together since 2014 to serve lower income families in our community. School holidays can be a very difficult time for families whose children would normally receive a free, cooked meal at school. Make Lunch Club aims to fill the hunger gap by providing a meal, twice per week, to these children who may otherwise go without.
Make Lunch is a club for families to connect with each other, share a meal and have fun! On your first visit you will be greated by our team leader who will help you to feel welcome. Our volunteers will entertain your children with games and activities so you can relax and enjoy your meal.
Who is it for?
Make Lunch Holiday Club is for you if your children are eligible for free school meals or you’re struggling on a tight budget at the moment! We ask all of our families to register for Make Lunch by completing a short, online form. Please contact us for more information and to register your family.
What do you do?
Our fun sessions include lunch, crafts, games and special events for the children. Our club is open on Mondays and Thursdays from 12:00 till 13:30 during school holidays. Feel free to go out for a bit and leave your kids or join in yourself!
Who can come?
All children (and adults) are welcome, but we do ask that children under 4 are accompanied by an adult.
