St Francis Food Stop
The Food Stop is a community food-sharing membership scheme whereby for £4 per week, you can buy approximately £20 worth of food, toiletries and household essentials.
As St Francis Church Selsdon, we are very grateful to Fareshare, Phoenix Project, Co-op Forestdale, Waitrose Sanderstead/Purley, Food Hub and many wonderful individuals who regularly support us with in-date food and household items.
If you are able to donate, please phone Michelle on 02086577864 (michelle.wyatt@stfrancisselsdon.org.uk) to find out more, email us at: communityoutreach@stfrancisselsdon.org.uk/ communitysupport@stfrancisselsdon.org.uk or drop off items on a Thursday morning at the Light House.
Food Stop particularly needs jars of coffee, tea bags, tinned (tomatoes, fish, kidney beans and curries), jars of jam, washing powders/capsules (bio or non-bio), toilet rolls and toothpaste.
Welcome Lunch
Come and enjoy a home cooked meal every Wednesday from 11am to 1:30pm, free of charge. Menu ranges from shepherd’s pie to chicken curry, with home-cooked vegetarian option as well – there’s something for everyone! You’re also guaranteed a warm and friendly welcome.
WARM are our values:
- W – Welcome: A warm and welcoming place that offers refreshments, a listening ear and local information.
- A – Accessible: A safe space that is open to everyone whatever their circumstances or situation.
- R – Relationships: A nurturing place where people can form new friendships, a place to grow and flourish.
- M – Mutuality: Recognising that each person brings experiences, knowledge, and skills that they may like to share to enrich their local community
Men's Shed
The Men’s Shed is a “repair shop” initiative (https://menssheds.org.uk/) designed to reach men, particularly those who don’t like coming to coffee mornings, etc. We are planning to do several things in our Men’s Shed – repairing household items, and learning new skills with qualified teachers – for example, plumbing or electrical work (see Electrical Class details below).
The shed is based at Lighthouse – St Francis Church. If you would like some more information, please see below:
