The Community Fridge and Second Helpings café on Saturdays will be closed for the foreseeable future, as indeed will the Well.

To avoid hardship for families in food poverty Second Helpings can help immediately with free access to food from our Bunker. This is situated in the tunnel under the Methodist Church in Barn Hill, Stamford or off North Street.

The Bunker is open:

• Tuesdays 10.30am – 12.30pm
• Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays 1pm – 3pm
• Saturdays 12.30pm – 2pm
• Plus, extra times for now of 5pm – 7pm Wednesdays & Fridays

Hours will change according to the availability of food and the health of volunteers, with any updates on the Second Helpings’ Facebook page and via notices outside the Bunker.

Our cooks are exploring the possibility of fresh cooked meals on a takeaway basis. Times and days to be announced on our Facebook site, in the media and notices in the Bunker and on the community fridge door.

Those who need more information can contact George on 01780 757439 or 07891 437914.

Please share this update with any families you know who will benefit from this help.

St George’s Church, Stamford’s drop-in cafe, Friday Connect, is not able to meet at the moment because of the Coronavirus restriction, but if those who attend ring in their contact details to the parish office on 01780 481800 people will keep in touch with them by phone.
