This is an update to everybody on how the Cuppa And Chat at St Andrew’s Church is doing. Since we started the Cuppa and Chat Drop-In at St Andrew’s Church on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month we have been delighted by the response of the people who come along for a Cuppa and a Chat.

The visitors and friends attending every other Friday have commented on the relaxed social aspect of the Drop-In and of course the Cuppa and Biscuits are free. We are extremely fortunate to have a team of volunteers who give of their time to provide this amazing venture at St Andrew’s church and to each of them I am incredibly grateful.

Due to the holiday season coming up it was agreed to take the month of July off and start again on 1st August 2025 and continue on each 1st and 3rd Friday of the month. May I thank you all who have come along for a Cuppa And A Chat in the last year and I look forward to meeting more of you in the next coming months.
