We’re thrilled that The Churn Community Hub has been recognised as a finalist in the SoGlos Gloucestershire Business Awards 2026! Especially as we are celebrating our 25th Anniversary year as a charity.

For 25 years, The Churn has been tackling loneliness and isolation and supporting anyone who is at a time of crisis or transition in their lives or experiencing poverty or mental health challenges. Last year we supported over 1,700 people in our community. This recognition celebrates the work we do every day. A huge thank you to our staff, volunteers, partners, funders and everyone who supports what we do.

We look forward to celebrating with fellow finalists at the awards evening at Cheltenham Town Hall on 5 November.

Happy Handbags at The Churn Community Hub

We’re really pleased to be working in partnership with Happy Handbags, a not-for-profit scheme providing handbags filled with essential personal hygiene items to women experiencing homelessness or extreme hardship.

As part of our partnership, we keep Happy Handbags in the women’s toilets at The Churn, so that anyone who needs one can access it discreetly, without having to ask.

Sometimes it’s the small things that can make a big difference. Having access to essential hygiene products can help someone feel a little more comfortable, supported and, most importantly, maintain their dignity during a difficult time.

Our Happy Handbags have just been restocked. 💛

We’re proud to support the work of Happy Handbags and to play our part in making sure practical support is available when it’s needed.

A special visit to our Monday Memory Café!

We were delighted to welcome Year 6 pupils from Stratton School, accompanied by their teacher Mrs Cartwright, to our Memory Café.

The pupils treated the group to a wonderful recital of The Tyger by William Blake, before spending time chatting, sharing stories with participants and volunteers and working together to create some fantastic tiger bookmarks. 🐯📚

A lovely intergenerational afternoon filled with creativity and plenty of smiles.

Our family groups at The Churn have been getting creative with some colourful mark making! 🖍️

The children explored different tools, including chalk, paint sticks, crayons and bingo pens, discovering the different patterns and splashes of colour they could make.

The bingo pens were a particular favourite, the children enjoying tapping them on the table and watching the bright colours appear. And some of the grown-ups couldn’t resist joining in the fun, too.

At The Churn Community Hub, our Family Service is about more than fun activities. Our groups give parents and carers the chance to meet other families, share experiences, build friendships and access support in a welcoming, friendly environment, while their children learn and play.
