Our ‘Soup on Sunday’ in Holy Trinity Church Coxheath, is now re-established. It is wonderful to welcome folks, share a bowl of soup and have a natter! Generous donations from Soup on Sunday have contributed to our other projects.

We made ‘Bags of Love’ for the parents of children starting school in Hunton, Coxheath and East Farleigh. These contain tea, coffee, biscuits, tissues, prayers and information. The families very gratefully receive them at a time that can be emotional with little ones starting school for the first time. We are grateful to the ladies of Coxheath Connect for donating some of the 100+ bags now needed for the three schools.

Following the traumatic birth of a granddaughter to one of our members we have knitted many items for the Neonatal Unit at Pembury. What a tremendous job they do there! Some members have also knitted Fiddlemuffs for those living with dementia in care homes.

Other local projects we have been involved with as part of the community are; knitting poppies for Remembrance day; knitting/crocheting matinee jackets for new born babies from the church toddler group; baking for events e.g. the Community Tea boxes; and recently making bunting and coronation crowns to decorate the village for the Coronation weekend.

Rochester Diocese MU has a link with Rochester prison. We, as a group, continue to provide hand-made cards, and contribute towards gifts given at Easter and Christmas. We also donate back packs and occasionally clothing, if requested.

A member of the village went out to Romania to an orphanage for Ukrainian Children. We donated items required for the children.

We  always look forward to engaging with our local community and helping families in whatever way we can.
