In The Community

For the community.... with the community

At Sheldon Road Church we believe in being an active part of our local area, supporting the community in its daily needs.  Below are some examples of the initiatives that we currently undertake.  In addition, take a look at our children, families and youth activities provided, and other ministries that individuals within our church family are involved in with.

	Community Lunches: Our initiative to feed our community continues each year.  Every Saturday lunchtime throughout Winter and Spring, a free 2-course lunch is being provided for anyone in the community. First come, first served - all welcome. You don't need to qualify or book - just turn up on the day and we'll be happy to serve you!
	Warm Space: Sheldon Road Church has joined in with the Chippenham Town Council plan to provide Warm Spaces for individuals and families who are struggling with the cost of living crisis. Everyone is welcome to come into the building for warmth and refreshments. Currently available during our Community Lunches and BOCBOF.
	Wednesday Lunch Club: For people 60+ years old and living alone or finding it difficult to cook for themselves anymore.  Every week (with a few exceptions) from 12.30pm for a reasonable cost, you are welcome to come and share a freshly cooked 2 course lunch, and enjoy time with others! We can cater for those needing alternative diets and those with limited mobility. Contact us if you'd like to come or help.
	BOCBOF: A time for everyone to simply come together, have fun, eat cake, make friends, give and get encouragement, and relax. Mondays from 10am -12pm. Games, tea, coffee & cake provided! Donations only. Want to know more? - Contact us.
	Chippenham Uniform Exchange: Sheldon Road Church is pleased to assist the Chippenham Uniform Exchange by serving as a donation point for school uniforms that are no longer needed and can be passed on to families experiencing financial hardship.
	Diabetic Support Group: Our dedicated Nursing team run a monthly event (first Wednesday of the month) offering support, discussion, and advice. We sometimes hear from visiting speakers. Anyone whose doctor has advised they may be pre diabetic is also welcome to come along. Contact us if you'd like to come along
