The Church Clock

There is currently a mechanical problem with the motor on the Church Clock, which means there are no chimes.

Upchurch Parish Council is aware and has called the engineer to resolve the fault ASAP so the village will hear the chimes again in due course.

Safer Streets - Free Online Bystander Training Sessions

As part of the Safer Streets Project for Folkestone and Swale, online bystander training has been organised to help equip residents with the skills to intervene and prevent harmful situations.

If you would like to join one of the free interactive online coaching sessions, please scan the Eventbrite QR code links in the poster to register.

Funding for the campaign came after Swale, through the Community Safety Partnership, worked with the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner to successfully bid for the additional resources.

The Rainbow Café at St Mary's Church

On the 2nd Thursday of each month.

The Rainbow Café at St Mary's Church opens its doors again on Thursday the 14th of March, between 2:00pm and 4:30pm.

The first hour and a half is usually a more peaceful time for the grown ups, but if you have a toddler, you are very welcome too.

We are going to introduce the opportunity to play Rummikub.

Never played it?

It's very addictive!

Come along, and we will show you how.

Or you can just come and chat and enjoy our delicious home cooked cakes and savouries.

Where else can you get a hot drink and a slice of homemade cake for £2?

And, of course, when the children come out of school, we will be ready with our amazing snack deal of 5 items and a drink for £1, followed by crafts and a story for them to enjoy.

And if that's not enough good stuff, our income gives 4 children a chance to go to school in Uganda and feeds breakfast to a group of Ugandan children at their Saturday Breakfast Club.

Everyone is welcome.
