Do you have any baby equipment that  you could donate to The Crossway?

We have been asked to help two women who are expecting babies in the next few weeks.

They need cots and cot bedding, pushchairs, car seat to take the baby home from hospital, steriliser, moses basket

If you can help please contact the Crossway on 0121 426 0070 or 0121 426 0077

Thank you

cots and baby equipment wanted for expectant mums

Thanks to those who have recently donated baby clothes, cots and pushchairs. These have now been passed on and been gratefully received.

 If you are still thinking about giving away your cot, puschair and other baby equipment, please can you get in touch with us at the Crossway on 0121 426 0070.

We know that we will need at least two more cots, pushchairs and other baby equipment in the next few months. It would be lovely to reassure people who are still pregnant that we will be able to help them in this way.

Now in its 4th year, Prime Time was once again an excellent week enjoyed by all – guests and helpers alike. 60 guests attended over the 3 days and were spoilt for choice with an exciting selection of sessions on offer each morning and afternoon. Have a look at the photo gallery to see the fun we had listening to music and talks, playing games, using computers and generally enjoying each other’s company. Guests were treated to a superb 3-course meal each day and plenty of tea, coffee and home-made cakes and biscuits in between times. The week concluded with a short service of Thanksgiving led by Revd Antony Spencer.

This event involved about 60 amazing helpers who organised or provided transport, shifted armchairs, welcomed and assisted guests, cooked, served, cleared up or washed up, led sessions, made drinks, organised games, ran the computers and PA, fed the volunteers, took photos, etc etc. Some brought their dogs; some brought their babies! All worked their socks off. But it was well worth it.

Prime Time gives an opportunity for older people in the church and from the local community to have a really enjoyable week together at a time when many people are on holiday and many clubs or activities are closed. It is a way of helping some more isolated older people to enjoy the company of others, and most of all, Prime Time helps older people feel valued and loved.

Already, we are looking forward to next year………
