Community groups

There is a friendly coffee morning at St. Paul’s Parish Centre. Tea, coffee and biscuits for a small donation. Everybody welcome! Why not drop in for a “cuppa” and a “natter”

The Lunch Club has been meeting now for nearly twenty years. It is intended to serve members of our community whose social lives are restricted by age or infirmity or recent bereavement. Indeed many of those attending tell us that it’s the one time in the month that they meet with others and have the chance to chat over an enjoyable meal.

Before the meal there is a half hour Holy Communion Service in church which is optional but which most of the diners attend. After the service, there is a two-course home-made meal. Our team of volunteers work hard to accommodate different tastes and dietary requirements. After the meal is finished and the tables have been cleared there is some form of entertainment, usually bingo.

Booking in advance is essential.

Performing musicals old and new. Masqueraders Theatrical Society meets Mondays in the Parish Centre/Hall. New members are always welcome.

The Nuneaton Foodbank is sponsored by the Trussell Trust which works in partnership with local churches and organisations to create a foodbank network for communities across the UK. There are now over 275 foodbanks in the network.

The Foodbank provides 3 days emergency food for people in need. People can access this help by getting a voucher from a wide variety of agencies including social work, schools, support workers etc. (We do not issue the food vouchers at St Paul’s). The Foodbank also offers support and direction to other agencies who can help in a particular crisis.

Enquiries about volunteering at Foodbank are always welcome.

St Paul’s is also a Collection Point for Foodbank. Donations of non-perishable food items and toiletries can be left in the green donation box whenever the church is open.

Nuneaton Foodbank also operates from:

• Manor Court Baptist Church
• Holy Trinity Attleborough
• CHESS Centre, Camp Hill

For more information and to find an up-to-date list of donations that are most needed, please visit the Nuneaton Foodbank webpages here.

If you would like to help us by being a volunteer please contact our Volunteer Co-ordinator via email.

We offer an inviting, stimulating, safe place to meet for preschool children and their carers, with a variety of toys and activities.

Snacks are provided for the children, and hot drinks are available for adults.

We are actively looking for extra volunteers to join our team. If you are interested, why not pop in and see what goes on? You would be very welcome!

*Please do not let cost be a barrier to joining us at Stay and Play. Have a quiet word with the welcomer if you need to come along but don’t have £2 that week.
