Jane Bennett was honoured to attend the Licensing Service last night for Revd Julie Hardy at St Paul’s Church, Bentley Common. Revd Julie became Rector of St Paul’s, St Nicholas in Kelvedon Hatch and St Thomas in Navestock, six years ago, at the beginning of the pandemic, therefore without a public service. The very welcoming service was attended by church members, family and friends.

National Time to Talk Day 💬

Today was all about conversation, kindness and community at Waitrose Billericay. 💛

Organisers Bluebird Care (UK) with team member Jo, alongside Billericay Unite in Kindness, were helping customers pack their shopping and handing out daffodils to spread positivity and encourage open conversations. 🌼

The amazing children from Quilters Primary School also lent a helping hand in the café, while Anna from Bennetts Funeral Directors Ltd supported with handing out worry worms and pocket hugs for the community. 🧸

It was lovely to welcome Richard Holden, who came along to show his support too. A simple reminder that talking really does matter, today and every day. 💙 Massive thank you too Julie, for making this all happen!
