This week
The warm room is open every weekday until March.
Tea, chairs, a socket to charge a phone, and nobody asking why you came. 9 to 4, and the kettle is always on.
Open to everyone in the neighbourhood
Northgate is a small community trust on the north side of town. We cook, we sit with children over their homework, we hand out food parcels, and on Sunday afternoons we meet to worship. You do not need to belong to anything to come to any of it.
This week
Tea, chairs, a socket to charge a phone, and nobody asking why you came. 9 to 4, and the kettle is always on.
The week ahead
The same every week during term. Anything cancelled is announced here first, and on the door.
What we do
A cooked meal every Monday. No booking, no questions, no charge. Usually about forty people.
Volunteers sit with children aged 7–14 who have nowhere quiet to work.
Thursday mornings. Referrals welcome, and you can also just turn up.
Friday evenings for 11–16s. Games, food, and someone to talk to.
A short service at four, then tea. Children stay in.
We visit anyone in the neighbourhood who would like a visit.
Coming up
Everyone. No booking, no charge.
If you are thinking about it, come to this.
The list of what we need is on the door.
In the main hall, 6pm. Children welcome.
Who you would meet
On a real site these are photographs of the people who actually run it. Initials here, because this trust does not exist.

Opens up, locks up, and knows every name.
Monday and Sunday
Cooks for forty on a budget for twenty.
Wednesdays and Fridays
A retired teacher, eight years in.
Wednesday mornings
Forms, letters and phone calls to the council.
Finding us
Help out
Most of what happens here is done by about twenty people who each give two hours a week. If that is you, send a message — someone will reply the same week.
Two hours on a Monday. You do not need to be a cook.
Wednesdays. We will do the safeguarding checks with you.
A list of what we are short of this week is on the door.
All of it goes to the programmes. The accounts are on this site.
Giving
We have no paid staff. Giving pays for food, heating and the minibus. The annual accounts are published on this site each spring, and anyone can ask to see the detail.
