Thursday (4th) night was a very busy night; 52 people attended so probably the second or third busiest session in the two and a half years we have been open. This week we tried a new main course and came up with the idea of Ham, Egg, Chips and Beans. So keeping it simple....

We are planning to open on a Wednesday to provide a basic drop in with tea coffee, pot noodles and to provide advocacy. Please email volunteer@newburysoupkitchen.org.uk for an application form and volunteer guide if you would like to help. The ability to write letters and make phone calls on behalf of clients will be required.

Unfortunately a client had an epileptic fit towards the latter part of the session. It went on for quite a long time so they slept afterwards for a while. One of our volunteers dealt with him initially as they saw it start and guided him onto the floor so he would not hurt himself.
