Here is a calendar of some of the events taking place:
Information Sharing: Lunchbox Library-HAF Partnership, 4 JUNE at 4pm
We would like to invite you to this information sharing mini-event where Mthr Sarah Dawson, Vicar of St George’s, Camberwell, and her team would be sharing with us their learning and insight from the partnership Together Southwark built between Lunchbox Library programme and Southwark Council’s Holiday Activities and Food/HAF programme. The latter was named locally ‘Lambeth and Southwark’s Holiday of Food and Fun 2020’ and helped resource Lunchbox Library in the two boroughs, beyond what we would usually offer on our own.
The idea of organising this session started with a small group and now it feels right to all join in, because of conversations we have had separately.
I would like to encourage you to come with questions, including those that were raised previously. We hope that potential volunteers in your parish would be able to join us as well to find out more about the programme and ask questions.
If your deadline to apply for the HAF funding has passed, you are still very welcome to join in the conversation.
Please find below the joining details:

What a glorious event!
Enormous thanks to all those who visited and contributed in any way to Saturday’s plant sale. The sun shone on us all and it was clear that being able to mix socially was just the best thing, plus we raised just over £1500. Being together, catching up with old friends and making new ones is something we’ve been deprived of for so long – let’s hope we never forget how important it is. Particular thanks must go to the ‘Quaranteenies’ who from a seed of an idea grew it into a blooming lovely event in only a few weeks. Thank you!
We are delighted that we will be taking part in the Shirley Jumble Trail this Sunday from 11am to 12:30pm. Everyone was so generous with donating plants and indoor pots that we still have lots that need to find a home!! Here’s a map of all the places you can visit on the trail.

Hopefully see you Sunday whether it’s for one of our services or for our plants.
