Warmer Place at Upchurch Village Hall

It was Friday the 9th of December and very cold outside, but there was a lovely warm glow inside our village hall.

We played Christmas carols, drank hot drinks and enjoyed delicious snacks together. And best of all, we chatted and enjoyed each other's great company.

And thanks to the Village Hall Committee, Upchurch's Co-op, and Cllr Richard Palmer, it was all free!

Our next Warmer Place will be in the village hall again on Friday the 13th of January from 11:00am until 1:00pm.

There will be a warm welcome waiting for you.

We hope and pray you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year ❤️

Hosted by St Mary's and Uplift.
