Ran by St Catherine's Hospice. An informal group where anyone can come and chat, have a brew, and talk to others about their loss, whether their loved one has died recently or some time ago. It runs from 10:00-11:30 am on the first Thursday of the month.

There’s no need to book, and if you would like to bring a friend along for a bit of support then please do.

It’s not a counselling group and there’s no set structure to it, but anyone who wishes to introduce themselves and tell their story is welcome to; or if you would prefer to sit and listen that’s fine too.

Open every Tuesday morning 10 am-12 noon, The Community Pantry is intended to give relief to individuals/families who find themselves in immediate need and require assistance in providing basic food items for their household. 

Please contact the Parish Office for details. Tel. 01772 759274
