Community Fundraiser for Turkey and Syria

 
Once again we were delighted to host the Residents of Belmont Rd on Saturday the 25th Feb as together we raised money for those impacted by the Earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

We bought our neighbours unwanted items, baked and ate cake and other produce, and enjoyed each others company.

Highlight of the day was watching some Turkish belly dancing - a few brave souls even had a go! As of 5th March we have raised £2000. If you wish to contribute then please donate on this justgiving page.

Community Quiz and Curry Night
Saturday 16th July 2022

What a great time we had! Around 60 of us battled it out to see who could pinpoint that city on the map, name the film or recognise the car emblem. Debates could be heard over what was a real sport 'hand rounders' or 'chess boxing'? Delights when guesses turned out correct and groans when dead certs were wrong. Hats off to Chris and Gill for being excellent quiz masters! 
5* cuisine was provided by 'Awesome Aunty' with a Vegetarian Option. 
Shout out to Holly and Christopher who mixed us non-alcoholic cocktails, my fav was the lime and apple! 

And the winners of the quiz were .... drum roll .... Eaton & Co

Platinum Jubilee Street Party
Sunday 5th June 2022

As part of the National celebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee we joined with our neighbours in Belmont Rd to host a Street Party.  What an amazing afternoon we had! The road was closed to traffic giving us a safe space to meet, play games and have fun. Residents and Church families brought their tables, chairs and picnic and put them in the road so we could eat and socialise together. The day ended with singing the National Anthem, dancing the Conger and singing 'Songs of Praise' in the carpark.  

The afternoon included the following:
"Elizabeth" Sponge Bake Off 
Fancy Dress Parade and Best Dressed House. 
Traditional Sports Day races, games, face painting
Free Cream Tea and soft drinks
Treasure Hunt, quiz and local history display. 

Fundraiser for Ukraine

In March 2022 the Church hosted a community Fundraiser with the residents of Belmont Road for the ongoing humanitarian need in Ukraine. The community came together to show their support, donating items for sale, baked goods (very tasty), plants, arts and crafts.




There is still time to give, help us reach £3000, via a Justgiving page where donations are going to Action Aid and DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal working to meet all immediate needs including food, water, protection, and trauma care.
