Reading Room Wednesday Mornings - Omicron Covid

24/12/2021

 
Because of the current uncertainty about the virus, Wednesday morning 10.30 coffee drop-in is suspended until further notice. I will get in touch with helpers and submit a note to this Newsletter when we feel the time is right to resume. In the mean time, I'll probably raise a cup at 10.30 on Wednesdays and maybe make a phone call instead!

​Sylvia

Thank you!

Dear Sally and the people of Great Coxwell
 
I'm Sally, a volunteer at Asylum Welcome, writing on behalf of Janet, our Food Bank Coordinator, and indeed on behalf of all the staff and volunteers here, to thank you all most heartily for your recent most generous donation of food items.
 
At the moment we are supporting over 100 people a week with food and essential toiletries. From working in the Welcome Centre myself pre-pandemic, I know just how much our clients appreciate and rely on having this lifeline to supplement the pitifully low level of financial support they have to exist on, if indeed any support is available.
 
Since the start of the pandemic and the closure of the Welcome Centre as a drop-in facility, we have developed a weekly delivery service to our clients and this works well thanks to our dedicated delivery volunteers. When the situation allows, we hope to be able to return to clients collecting food at the Centre, as this gives them more autonomy over their food choices. But no system works  if we don't have food to supply, so we are dependent on the continuing generosity of such kind people as yourselves. You are really making a difference and it's heart-warming in these troubled times.
 
Thank you all again, and our very best wishes to you all for Christmas and the New Year
 
Sally Wehmeier

Covid Pass FRAUD

15/12/2021

 
​Covid Pass FRAUD - texts - please be careful - there is NO charge for a Covid Vaccine Pass. 
 
I have just received a text telling me I need to apply for a Covid Pass.  What with all the rather panicky news at the moment, I took it at face value and clicked through and started to fill in the form.  But LUCKILY, just in time I realised that there is NO charge.  They wanted bank details …..!!!

Faringdon Community Larder

2/12/2021

 
Interested in helping save perfectly good food from ending up in the skip, taking pressure off the environment and cutting food bills into the bargain ? If so, the new Faringdon Community Larder could be a great place to start.
 
It is estimated that we waste around 30% of all food produced for human consumption. This wasted food has taken a tsunami of fresh water, land and labour to produce, not to mention pointlessly wasted energy, emissions and fertilisers / polluted runoff. Friends of the Earth say - if it were a country, food waste would be the third highest emitter of greenhouse gasses in the world.
 
SOFEA ( https://www.sofea.uk.com/ ) is an Oxfordshire-based organisation aiming to give local, excluded young people a fresh start and in the process provide a range of services including around 20 Community Larders in Oxfordshire (working with fareshare.org.uk). For a small fee ANYONE interested in preventing food waste or saving money on food bills can join the project. There are no conditions for membership. This food comes direct from the warehouses of the big Supermarkets to the SOFEA warehouse in Didcot. It was destined for the skip without ever seeing a retail shop! This food is different from the food banks or community fridges/Pump House project; they run in parallel. The Larder in Wantage re-distributed 1.7 TONS of food in November alone. 
 
Over the last few weeks, Faringdon Council has started running a Community Larder in the Corn Hall every Tuesday Afternoon. Costs are a one off £10 fee to join SOFEA and a £3.50 weekly subscription for the larder paid by direct debit. Get more details from SOFEA's website and sign-up on line at https://www.sofea.uk.com/purpose-projects/community-larder/. Come along to the Corn Hall between 2:30 and 4:00 any Tuesday to have a free tea and a look around or drop us a mail for more details.  
 
Thanks,
Ken Hirons

We are in the process of making our application to 'Oxfordshire Artweeks' so if you are an artist/artisan who lives in the village and would like to open your studio/house/garage/garden to visitors to exhibit and sell your work then please let us know by 10th December - email to valerie.hughes58@gmail.com

All the usual venues will be up and running. We would also like to thank all the residents for being so welcoming and encouraging and enabling us to raise considerable sums for the village, through Artweeks, via visitor purchases at the reading room cafe and plant stall at the church.
