Behind the Scenes at St Georges 
Wednesday Friends Group  

All St George’s parishioners, members of our family of parishes and friends are welcome to enjoy tea/ coffee, very good biscuits, cake and chat with a lively group of parishioners in the social centre after 9:30am Mass on a Wednesday, each week.

During our time together we have given practical support to families after funeral Masses and Services: hosted two special coffee mornings one to celebrate our patron, St George and a further celebration on Ascension Thursday. Both events were attended by upwards of forty parishioners and friends. September 2023, after a valiant effort, we raised a magnificent £2624 for McMillian Nurses. It was wonderful to see the social centre at its best, full of very happy people and hearing the buzz of their chatter whilst enjoying cakes, coffee and tea. In October we held an 'Autumn Fair' for the 'Save Our Kitchen' fundraising campaign, we also supported the sponsored walk by providing refreshments on the walkers return. Hopefully this will lead to more groups using the improved facilities. The Wednesday group also cleans the social centre regularly: the kitchen, the toilets, the table tops polished and the carpets hoovered

A regular feature of our Wednesday morning gatherings is a 'Craft Group' where Cath Woods encourages and develops our crafting skills. Going forward she is going to be leading workshops which all members of the Parish are welcome to join. 
During the winter we provided a warm hub each Wednesday after 9:30am Mass until 12:30pm   
All parishioners are welcome to join the Wednesday coffee mornings and if you wish to lend a hand with the friends all help is gratefully received. We hope to see you soon.
