Hello! I hope you're enjoying this wonderful weather! My name is Emma Lewington and I'm the Volunteering Lead at Greenwich Foodbank. Firstly, thank you so much for your continued support of Greenwich Foodbank. Your generous food donations make a real and lasting impact for families in crisis across our borough – we’re truly grateful. Right now, we’re reaching out to ask for your help with another urgent need. We are currently looking to expand our volunteer base and we’d be so grateful if you could share our volunteering opportunities with your congregation. We have many roles available, including receptionist and warehouse support but most crucially we are incredibly low on drivers – and without them, we simply can’t get food where it’s needed most. We’re looking to recruit new drivers to help us keep moving. Here’s a short video from our leader Jamie Ginns that captures what it’s all about: https://youtube.com/shorts/75WPFubSQ6o?feature=shared Volunteer Drivers Needed – Help Keep Greenwich Foodbank Moving! We’re looking for confident drivers (aged 25+) with a clean driving license to help transport food supplies across Greenwich in our Luton and Transit vans. Training and full support is provided, and it’s a great way to serve the community in a very practical and meaningful way. Would you be willing to share our volunteer / driver appeal in your next newsletter, service, or notice board? Anyone interested can contact us at volunteers@greenwich.foodbank.org.uk – we’d love to hear from them! Thank you again for standing with us. If you have any questions or would like printed materials to share in person, just let me know. Many thanks, EmmaThe above message was sent by Emma Lewington on 10 Apr 2025, 3:39 p.m. They can be contacted on volunteers@greenwich.foodbank.org.uk
Every six years (starting now), churches are required to make a new 'electoral roll', which is the official list of everyone who is a member of a particular church. This means that all of us (however long we have been regular worshippers at St Nicholas's) are asked to fill in a new enrolment form. Being on the electoral roll is really a form of both witness and stewardship, meaning that we are prepared to be counted as members of St Nicholas's and to play a part in its governance. One of the nearby links will take you to a site which contains all the relevant notices and forms.Enrolment forms will be available in church from this Sunday onwards, and a link to a Word version of the form is also attached, which you can if you prefer print and complete at home.The new roll must be finished two weeks before our Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 25 May, i.e. by 11 May. The task of drawing up the complete roll will be quite demanding, so please return your form as soon as you can. Only those on the roll by 11 May will be able to vote at the APCM - you can't join on the day, or in the two weeks preceding!
