Social
Supermarket: Coming Soon!
Food poverty is an issue that has affected our town increasingly. We want to offer an alternative way of shopping that reduces weekly household costs but promotes choice and dignity for those accessing the supermarket. The social supermarket will be a weekly shopping experience at a reduced cost. A choice of fresh, canned and frozen food will be on offer for shoppers accessing the social supermarket. Friendly volunteers will offer the chance to connect and check-in, perhaps opening up other opportunities to support shoppers.

Messy
Church
Messy Church is a different way of doing church. It’s for families who don't already belong to a church, at any stage of faith. Happening monthly on Saturday mornings at St. Peter's, it is Christ-centred, for all ages, based on creativity, hospitality and celebration. Expect crafts, snacks, stories and songs. A joint venture with Elim Church, Loughborough.

Safehaven Cafe
Safehaven is an 8 week course for parents with pre-school aged children, aiming to facilitate friendship and learning as well as eating a hot, healthy meal together at lunch time. Our supervised children's activities are fun, engaging and run by a qualified childrens practitioner, with emphasis on their physical development and skills. Interactive workshops for parents enable them to pick up useful skills and tools for parenting, and get to know others in a safe and friendly environment. These include Baby and Toddler First Aid- which is run by a professional first-aider, a 'ready for pre-school/school' session, finances and budgeting, a self esteem workshop and lots more. The programme started in 2016 and since then we have run the cafe with over 60 families, taking referrals from a number of local agencies. If you would like to make a referral for our next course, please get in touch.
