Family craft workshop — Franciscan weekend | St. Laurence

for 4 hours
St Laurence
High Street Winslow BUCKINGHAM, MK18 3AB, United Kingdom

Celebration of the 800th Anniversary of St Francis 9th-13th September 2026

Come and repurpose household waste to make a bug hotel or animal sculpture over burgers and hotdogs and learn all about the Winslow Womblers.

For this event we need empty plastic bottles 500ml or 1 litre, we need any clean waste plastic tubing up to 2cm in diameter, such as old garden hose, hula hoops or straws. Old bamboo canes would also be good if they’re cut down into 15-20cm lengths. We’d also like clean, dry, paper pamphlets/booklets such as the Buckingham ‘Focus’ or the Winslow Parish Magazine or others of a similar size & thickness (A5 or smaller with at least 50 pages).

There will be big collection buckets with full details of the kind of things we need in St. Laurence & St. James churches.

Thanks very much. Any donations would be hugely appreciated.

Our Benefice

Safeguarding

The parish of Winslow is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Oxford’s safeguarding pages (https://oxford.anglican.org/support-services/safeguarding/) contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO on [email protected]. Alternatively the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor can be contacted with urgent safeguarding concerns on 01865 208 295 or email [email protected] (Monday to Thursday 9am – 5pm and Friday 9am – 4.30pm).

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police on 999 and/or your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
