Whilst we are raising funds for Bardsley, there is also opportunity to donate in kind too! The charity are currently appealing for donations of kitchenware to help furnish the homes of young people transitioning out of temporary accommodation.

Items don’t need to be new but in good, clean, working condition.

Items requested:

  • For Cooking and Baking: pots, pans, baking trays, oven dishes, mixing bowls.
  • For Eating and Drinking: cups, mugs, plates, bowls, cutlery sets, glasses.
  • Small Appliances: kettles, toasters, microwaves (must be in full working order).
  • Utensils and Storage: cooking utensils, utensil pots, food storage containers, food drainers (sieves/colanders)
  • Anything else you think would be of use in a kitchen!

Donations can be delivered directly to Bardsley House (Hill Top, CV1 5EP) but please phone ahead (07943 688760) to make sure that someone is there to greet you.

OR – bring to church and we will arrange delivery to Bardsley House.

The Big Lunch 2026

If you are interested in and able to help in planning our Eden Project Big Lunch this year, please let Karen Adams know as soon as possible. This is a great opportunity to show ourselves as a community church – witnessing to the love of God in this time and this place. Please think about what you think we should do, how we can do it, and what you can do to help make it happen!

Girls’ Brigade News

On Monday December 15th, Girls’ Brigade made Christingles and added chocolates to decorated boxes. These were then delivered to Lammas House Care Home (across the path from church) for residents to enjoy.

They also watched the story of The Grumpy Owl who found joy in his barn at Christmas (find the link to this on our Things to do in Advent page) and at the end of the night each girl had a bag of goodies to take home: Christmas crafts, sweets, reindeer food and cards. Great fun!

Pre-Christmas Kindness continues…

Karen, Sue and Jill put together 32 bags of toiletries as Christmas gifts for those who will spend Christmas as residents at the Salvation Army Life House in Harnall Lane.

Many thanks to everybody who gave so generously! If you still have items to donate, please bring them to SCC – we will ensure that they go to those who need them most!
