This week the chat and craft group at St Thomas church in Upholland made flower fairies.

Our group is open to all and you can bring your own craft project or join in the group project.

Come and escape the hustle and bustle of life and relax with a lovely cup of coffee and try your hand at a new craft.

A few photos from the coffee morning at Gantley Court Community Lounge on Wednesday. This was a collaboration event in conjunction with Brighter Better Orrell.
It was a brilliant turn out and lovely for the volunteers to meet so many people. Thank you to everyone who was involved with organising and those who attended and made it a wonderful morning. We look forward to using the space and arranging more community activities in future 💜

We had a wonderful day hosting our Spring Feast With Friends event in conjunction with Greenslate Farm.
This event was a Free community meal for our community and those who often eat alone.
We had amazing live music from the talented Martim Pocinho and Rebecca Marsh. Delicious food supported by Fur Clemt, a quiz and even a visit from The Easter Bunny himself!
Thank you so much to our amazing volunteers who were truly spectacular and worth their weight in golden eggs.
It was so lovely to host everyone who came and we do hope to arrange another event for you all soon!

Please follow our page to stay in the loop if you would like to join our next community meal

We had another wonderful Christmas day at Greenslate Farm hosting our second Christmas With Company event, providing a free Christmas dinner and festive afternoon for those who might otherwise be alone for Christmas. So many wonderful people got involved to help make it a special day. If you would be interested in doing something similar next year please get in touch and we can try to offer you support and advice to help spread the movement and put the meaning back into Christmas.
