Our Tuesday Hangout
Hangout started in the Spring of 2026 as a Churches Together initiative, and has since grown with the help other community supporters. We were able to secure grant funding for the venture from local community charity groups, and this finances the snack table as well as all the craft materials and equipment. We also receive many donations of food and craft materials and are extremely grateful for the wonderful community support, There is no charge for the children and we have a good number who come every week and are always polite and friendly. All the adult helpers are fully DBS checked.
After the summer break we will be up and running again from 8th September.
A few recent comments from the children -
"Good place to go with friendly people"
"There are games and crafts and you can play the piano!"
" I like the food and drinks and all of it is free!"
"I really enjoy the games and the food, everyone here is really nice and it is a beautiful place"
"Nice and calm in here"
"There are so many activities, a great variety, thank you very much"
"Everyone is so welcoming and everyone cares about the young people in the community and ask us about what we are doing at school and trying to find different things for us to do"
"We were the first ones here. A lovely lady invited us in to have free food and drink. We brought others with us the next week"
"I didn't know any one before from the secondary school, but i do now so I'm not so bothered about September!"
"i thought it was something religious, but it isn't, it is lovely here!"
"Thanks to all the ladies especially Ali for the lovely food!"
"Very friendly people who always smile and make you feel welcome. A very calm space. Thank you"
"Thank you so much to those who sponsor this group to allow us to do so many things. It is a nice place to come after a tortuous day at school. It is lovely to relax. Thanks Gina and the team!"

We vary the set up of the activities on offer each week to keep things fresh
The food table is always an attraction. There is no charge for this, thanks to donations
Some children do homework - and we can help if needed.
Craft and art work are always very popular and we have had some incredibly impressive results. A good use of a mobile phone!
