The Kemptown Koalas - Parent & Toddler Group
Tuesday afternoons, 2.30-4pm
St Mary's friendly and inclusive parent and toddler group runs in our church hall on Tuesday afternoons from 2.30 to 4 pm. The entrance to the hall is in St Mary's Place, immediately to the east of the church. We welcome people of all faiths and none and hope you'll feel comfortable with us whatever your beliefs. To help cover the costs of snacks for the littlies and afternoon tea for the grown-ups, we ask that parents pay £1.50 for the first child, and £1 for a second. But this isn't obligatory. Please speak in confidence with one of our volunteers if this would prevent you from bringing a child to the Koalas. To keep up-to-date with special events and holiday breaks, please see the Koalas' Facebook page. |
Tea and Company - Friendship cafe
Wednesday afternoons, 3pm - 5 pm
Every Wednesday in term time, from 3 pm to 5 pm, St Mary's hosts a free friendship café for people who want to get out and smile a bit more. This is a joint venture between St Mary's and the Community Service team at Brighton College. Most weeks pupils from the College are on hand to serve afternoon tea and talk with our guests. We're always looking for new volunteers to make sandwiches, help serve or clean up. It's a happy lively gathering and we all benefit from the cheerful engagement with our neighbours. To find out more, to recommend a guest, or to volunteer, please call Fr Andrew Woodward on 01273 698601 or drop us an email here. We'd love to see you! |
