Enjoy free hot drinks at our warm space this winter ☕

Our Burton Square Community Hub has become a ‘warm space’ for those in need during the colder months.

These welcoming and friendly sessions provide an opportunity for anyone to enjoy a cuppa and some snacks while socialising with others in a safe and warm environment.

Geoffrey visits the hub every week for a drink and a natter.

He said: “The hub is a lifeline; it’s changed my life. It’s given me people to talk to, and I’ve made friends here.

“I come at least twice a week and they have my cup of coffee ready for when I arrive!”

Join us at:

Burton Square Community Hub - every Monday, Wednesday & Thursday in Stafford.

Happy International Day of Older Persons! 🎉

This year’s theme is Building Belonging: Celebrating the power of our social connections.

At The Sandford, our nursing home in Church Stretton, we are committed to promoting a strong sense of community and belonging wherever possible. Loneliness is a serious issue among older people — with around 940,000 older people in the UK experiencing it often according to recent studies. It’s something that deeply affects mental health and well-being, and it’s why we put so much heart into creating moments like our Summer Fete in August.

It was a fantastic day, bringing together residents, families, friends, colleagues, neighbours and the wider community. With lively performances from the Church Stretton Accordion Band and the Lower Deckers Sea Shanty Group, plus games, great food, and even better company — the day was full of joy, laughter and meaningful connections.

Liz Hooper, Activities Coordinator at The Sandford Nursing Home, said: “At The Sandford, over the past year, we’ve proudly opened our doors even wider to the local community — welcoming local historians, storytellers, wildlife groups, performers and even the local primary school for monthly visits. These connections mean the world to our residents and have helped build lasting relationships across generations.

“We want our residents not just to feel at home, but to truly feel part of a warm, supportive and loving community.”

A community breakfast club for over 55s, in a Staffordshire village, will continue to run thanks to funding from Housing Plus Group. We agreed to sponsor Eccleshall Community Lounge’s breakfast club after its funding was stopped.

Our donation will mean it can continue to serve up free healthy breakfasts including toast, pancakes, porridge, pastries and fruit, as well as hot drinks and juice 🥐.

Up to 25 residents attend the club every month, where they also take part in activities such as quizzes and bingo. It provides a date in the diary for the more socially isolated and vulnerable members of the community to look forward to each month.

The breakfast club runs on the second Friday of every month from 9.45am to 11.30am inside the parish rooms outside the Holy Trinity Church.
