Bid Six - Coffee Drop In / Warm Space

Name of Project	Coffee Drop In / Warm Space
Organisation	St Paul's Church, Wordsworth Avenue
Description of Project	Our Coffee Drop-In happens every Thursday morning. During the morning, we provide the following activities: - A hot drink and biscuits / cakes for anyone who walks through the doors - Opportunities to volunteer by sorting food for our Foodbank (on Friday mornings) and setting the hall up for the Foodbank at the end of the morning. - A space to meet new friends, chat, socialise and form a informal network of others from across Parson Cross. - Most importantly for many - simply a listening ear, a space to be and, as appropriate, a hug. We do have a time where we invite people to join us to study a section of the bible and pray; but there is no pressure to do so. The group started in response to the Cost of Living Crisis, providing a warm dry space for people to meet in for free. That is still one of the key aims of the group and Ref No. For Office Use 0006 project - alongside providing a space for people to form ‘community’ through socialising with other people over a drink and some food. We are looking at providing some other social activities alongside refreshments and the volunteering opportunities e.g. board games, card games etc to attract more people to come.
