Little Saints

After setting up and running the Toddler Group three years ago Bob and Bev Mackrill are stepping back at the end of the school summer term in July. This group is now well established providing a warm welcome and friendly pastoral support for Mums, and the occasional Dad, and Carers with small children aged 0-4 years. This small community meets weekly in term time at the Unity Centre to offer small children the opportunity for free play in a variety of settings with good quality resources and equipment. Supported by Niamh and Gerry Armstrong this offers an essential outreach to our wider community.We now need a couple of committed volunteers who can take the baton from Bob and Bev to lead this group and take it forward from September assisted by Niamh and Gerry. If you are interested, please speak with Bob or Bev to gain a greater insight into the details of this role and come along on a Thursday morning between 10-11.30 to see the group in action.

Warm Space

 

Monday 21st July will be our last lunch until September. The team have worked incredibly hard and are all deserving of a summer break. We hope to return with a new name to reflect the lunch club it has developed into. Impromptu feedback from our guests on how we are performing was very complementary.  The feedback highlighted that it is not just the meal but the companionship that is important to them.

Thank you for your donations, they help provide a very good meal. Please continue to give-tinned tomatoes, tinned fruit, coffee and kitchen foil.

 

 Warm Space Team

Wood workers?

We are looking at repairs/replacements for certain elements in the bell tower. Mark Webb would like to hear from anyone who knows or has contacts for:

  • a supplier of suitable wood for making stays and other items for the bells 
  • a person with woodworking machinery who could create the necessary shapes and sizes of stay


Traditionally, the wood has been ash and ideally that would be the safest but with a reducing supply of suitable ash we might need to consider alternatives 

Please email the office - office@stamfordallsaints.org.uk

Concert

There is a concert for The Independence Day of Ukraine on Sunday 24th August at 4pm at Browne’s Hospital, in Stamford.  

There will be Ukrainian songs, piano and chamber music in aid of the charity HUGS, 'Helping Ukraine - Grassroots Support'.
