A busy summer at Saints

We've had a super busy summer hosting an array of events and activities for local people.

This summer our popular breakfast club was back giving children free cereal or toast plus fruit and a drink every day. Over the course of the summer 330 free breakfasts were given out.

The team ran six free all-age creative workshops that celebrated the heritage of Nuneaton. These included a weaving workshop, a mosaic workshop and a stained-glass workshop. We also had two free family fun days – ‘Shine’, a family fun day organized in conjunction with St Nicolas Church and YWAM Nuneaton, and ‘Curious Creators’ in partnership with Warwick University.

During the annual popular Nuneaton Carnival, we provided a sensory friendly space with ear defenders, a special quiet sensory area and giveaways for anyone who needed a break from the noise of the carnival.

To help prepare for the back-to-school season, we held a school uniform bank, where people could donate good quality preloved uniforms which were then available for free for others to choose and take.

Also, the team worked with young people who had finished school, providing them with volunteering days to give them hands on work experience to develop their skills.
