Groups and activities
We want to invite you into our everyday community life, whether that's through a social group, a creative space, or a wellbeing project. This page highlights some of our key activities, but our full diary is much bigger! To dig a little deeper and discover exactly what’s on this month, click through to explore the calendar.
Memory & Movement
Support for those with memory challenges
Fridays, 10.30am-12.15pm
No booking required
Memory & Movement is for anyone who would like support with their memory challenges, and particularly beneficial for those living with dementia. We engage with a different theme each week to spark thoughts and memories, and to inspire creativity and joy. We also do gentle movement exercises to build strength and stability. From time to time we take trips out in our community minibus - these are always a highlight! St Paul’s has a free car park, step-free access and accessible toilet facilities. Memory & Movement is completely free but if you wish to make a donation towards running the group and maintaining our community minibus you can do so using the donation station inside Café on the Corner. Thank you!
Grief Café
For anyone who has lost someone
Every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month, 2.15pm
No booking required
Living with grief can be overwhelming. Would it help to talk about it? Come and join us, have a cuppa and a chat with others who are grieving too, or see one of our experienced grief support volunteers for one-to-one support. We make time to remember our loved ones in special ways, such as planting flowers in Spring and making personalised decorations at Christmas. You are welcome to bring a friend or family member along with you for support. Do come and join us.

Our Place
A warm welcome for all
Every Monday, including Bank Holidays, 9.30-11.30am
No booking required
Places of Welcome is a network of spaces run by local community groups who want everyone in their neighbourhood to have a place to go for a friendly face, a cup of tea and a conversation if and when they need it. Our Place at the café has been welcoming people on Monday mornings for over 7 years and you are invited to come by for free refreshments and a guaranteed warm welcome whenever you need it. We would love to see you.
Social Supermarket
Food and essentials each week
Mondays, 10am-12pm
No booking required
Welcome to our pop-up market - reducing waste and redistributing surplus. Every Monday volunteers collect surplus food (and sometimes flowers) that would otherwise have been wasted from shops and supermarkets. It's all fresh and good quality, and we offer it to anyone who would like to come and collect some. Each item has a suggested donation amount, but it's really up to you if you'd like to donate for what you take away. All donations go back into supporting the project. There's lots of variety each week, and we generally have a great selection of fruits and vegetables, bakery bread and pantry staples. When the weather is fine we set up outside, and on rainy or cold days we'll be inside the church halls. Come along and say hi, we are open to everyone!
No Boundaries Community Garden
For all to grow and gather
Drop-in sessions Tuesdays 10.30am-12pm and Fridays 1-4pm (April-September)
No booking required
Established in December 2022, our community garden occupies previously unused and unloved space next to the church car park. Now in our 4th year of growing, the garden is flourishing thanks to fantastic community support! It is a space for everyone to enjoy peace and nature, for us to grow fresh food and for people to enjoy and learn about gardening. It also contributes to our status as a Bronze Eco Church and demonstrates our commitment to nature and the environment. Produce from the garden is used in our café kitchen and since it is a community garden you are welcome to take a little away with you to use and eat at home. Join us to help maintain the space at drop-in sessions from April to September.
Chair-based exercise
Improve strength and stability
Wednesdays, 1-2pm
No booking required. £5 per session or 4 sessions for £12.
These sessions, led by a qualified instructor, are particularly suitable for those with dementia and/or reduced mobility and are designed to build strength and help prevent falls. There's no need to book, just come along.

Come along to explore the beauty of creating and have fun making alongside others! This open-to-all group covers many types of artistic practice, including drawing, watercolour, and mixed media.
