Welcome to your August & September Newsletter Who we are…. We want to reduce loneliness and isolation amongst vulnerable older people aged 55 and over living independently in South London. We’re trying to make things better for older vulnerable people including people living with Dementia and their carers, enabling them to remain active participants within their own local community. We do this through initiatives like coffee mornings, lunch clubs, walking groups, bereavement support, gardening, mindfulness, exercise classes and more.
Due to their hard work we are now on the Caring for God’s Acre website. Click below to see our entry and have a look at the wonderful work that the organisation does.
Barry Goodwin & Bernard Maguire share their thoughts after a wildflower and grass survey of St John’s churchyard.
There is quite rightly a real concern about the loss of biodiversity across the world today but sometimes we can be surprised by just how much there is on our own doorstep.
Families from St John’s Church are hosting families from Ukraine who have joined with new friends in Shirley as part of the community, enthusiastically taking part in worship and social activities. They were here to share the Queens Jubilee celebrations and a Parish picnic and now regularly attend the church tea room on Sunday afternoons.
Shown here wearing some national clothes and sampling a St John’s cream tea are: Yurii, Vova, Sophia, Oksana, Maria and another Oksana together with hosts from Shirley: Barbara, Janey and Karen
Additional note from Karen Dovey (wife of Revd Andy Dovey, Senior Chaplain CUH )
“Our guest family come from Odesa, Barbara’s family are from Lviv and the visiting family are from Kyiv. They have all worked hard to get all their documents sorted and several of them have schools sorted out, the youngsters are working in cafes or pizza shops. Their hope has always been to go back to their homeland, but plans to return change weekly as the situation gets more difficult This is one of the best things we’ve ever done as a family “
