We’d love to welcome you to the Tuesday Group. It takes place every Tuesday from 10am-2pm; it’s for people seeking good company, a chat, and a laugh. You can bring a craft project, and if you need a hand with some tricky knitting, there’ll be someone there to help you. Or if you’d like to do some gardening, you’d be very welcome. Tuesday Group is run by volunteers; everyone mucks in and helps with making hot drinks, buying snacks, doing the washing-up and so on.

Please get in touch with Jim Kinsella, churchwarden, if you want to find out more: 07989 740252, or just come along!
