HOT SPOTS!

14/10/2022

 
Faringdon Town has put its efforts together to come up with a warm space five days a week where anyone can go to meet others, be part of the community, do activities, be warm, get information, make friends, volunteer, work and have food, all on a donation only basis.
 
Sarah Oliver and myself are organising Fridays and are looking for helpers. We will be working from 9am - 5pm in the Catholic Church Hall in Faringdon, every Friday till and including 16th December and then again till March. If you think you might have a few hours to spare on a Friday to help in anyway - being a friendly face when folk arrive, cooking, tidying up, book keeping, making a cake, bringing a friend along, then please be in touch and join us.
 
Email openkitchenfaringdon@gmail.com or message/call 07766 954 559.
Thanks Annabelle (Zinovieff, Chapel House)

All members are welcome to attend and to enjoy the refreshments afterwards. Visitors are also welcome but are required to contribute £1.50 towards the cost.

NB  Please note that all attendees are required to be in good health and to be up-to-date with their COVID vaccinations.  If in doubt please stay at home.

A reminder to everyone that the postponed Harvest Festival and Harvest Lunch will take place on Sunday next, 9th October.

If you have already indicated that you are coming to the Harvest Lunch, I will be contacting you in the next day or so to confirm whether you are still coming.  If you were not able to come last time, but would now like to join us, please let me know - 241632 or phemes43@gmail.com.

We hope you will be able to join us to celebrate this milestone of the country year.
