Mission and Outreach Projects

Locally accommodated refugees

We host help for refugees, with friendship and practical help in English classes, food donations, form-filling, and signposting to services.

As part of this project, St Dunstan's is host to 14 invited homeless guests for 6 or 7 nights each winter.  We provide dinner and friendly company, beds with fresh linen, and a hearty breakfast in the morning.  The shelter project runs for 4 months each year, and helps homeless people on the way to a more stable life and hopefully permanent accommodation.

Toddlers Group

Little Acorns is a playgroup for pre-school children on a Friday between 9.45-11.15am in term time. It is an opportunity for parents in the parish to bring their children to take part in craft activities, free play, snack time, and ends in a group singing session. It is a welcoming place for parents to meet up and along with their children make new friends, and feel part of the church community.

If anyone is interested in joining us please come along on a Friday morning to meet us.

Cost is £1.50 for adult and first child and £1.00 for additional children.

Kidzone

This is our weekly after-school service for children of primary school age and their parents/carers. We meet every Monday in term time at 3.45 for refreshments and crafts, then go into the church for songs, games, drama and quizzes around the theme of a Bible story. It's very informal, great fun, involves lots of participation, and is a good time for adult fellowship too.   Contact  Jon for more information.
