BABY AND TODDLER
Representative
Carmen Dykes
Our Baby and Toddler Group meets every Friday during school term time from 9.30am to 11.15am at the Parish Centre. It is aimed at babies through to children of preschool age together with their parents/carers. It is a friendly drop-in group providing opportunity for play, crafts, singing and refreshments. Newcomers are always welcome.
It costs £1 per family per week. Please come along if you are the parent, grandparent or carer of a baby or preschool child, even if English is not your first language. It is a great place to meet other adults with children your child’s age and your child can make new friends too.
OPEN DOORS & WARM SPACE
Representative
Bernadette Pratt
Our Lady and St Edmund’s Church joined the Warm Spaces initiative in Abingdon in January 2023 offering a warm place, hot meal and conversation to members of the Parish and local community. When Warm Spaces finished it was clear that what we offered during the initiative was both valued and much needed and so we have continued as Open Doors. Open Doors runs most Mondays (except Bank Holidays) from 11am until 2pm in the Parish Centre. We welcome anyone who is on their own or would just like some company, to join us for conversation and lunch or just pop in for a tea/coffee. We also always need more volunteers, so if you are able to help please use the form below to get in touch.
