Events gone by in 2024 – Going back in tiiimmmeee<\/span><\/h3>\n

On Wednesday, 11th December, SSNC switched it up when they did a “Step into Christmas”. We had a party, instead of a fayre. And people LOVED it. (We will update our Community Stories<\/a> page with feedback a.s.a.p.). There was a Santa, a DJ, music, and You People who made it what it was. Tops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday, 23rd November, we shared our space with Big Local\u00a0<\/a>and the community centre hosted their fayre. The Greatfield Winter Fayre collaboration was a success. St Stephen’s (that’s us), we chipped in to feed everyone too, for free.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Events Gone by 2022\/2023<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Some wonderful things have happened: Saturday 2nd December 2023 we had a Christmas Fayre, and what a beautiful day it was. Tuesday 5th December, we took to standing just outside the front door in our hats, scarves, and coats. The parade was here, the land train, and even the lord mayor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

On October 18th<\/sup> and the 21st,<\/sup> 2023, SSNC<\/em> facilitated a couple of learning sessions with how to use sewing machines. At first, the young-people did not know what to make of the activity, but soon after, they were threading the needles themselves, carefully learning (with instruction) how to sew various patterned lines. In the future, we will be showing our young-people how to make various items: clothing, bedding, costumes, tote-bags, purses, capes\u2026and more. \u00a0All in all, the staff and volunteers facilitating the event had fun, and it lit the spark for our young-people who would like to work in a position related to the textiles’ industry. \u00a0As an ending point to the springboard for more projects to come, we would like to take the opportunity to thank ASDA\u2019s<\/a> funding program for making this all possible. An update will be coming \u2013 with the progress made, and the stories shared of this journeying of creativity in January 2024 on the Your Community Stories Page<\/a>. Thank you also to our external Hull University student volunteer, Jan Saraneeyawong. She saved the day and helped other staff rejig their memories for how to use the machines without gaining too many loose threads. Actually, you can see her down in the photos at the bottom, aligning the needles and then overseeing our young-people working out how to use the machines. Thank you again, Jan! We would not have got this off the ground without you. You helped us to take off, and now we will fly on…and other such related mumbo jumbo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Latest seasonal event! – “Halloweening” around October 2023<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With the spooky season upon us, our young people have been creating and making up window displays of various spooky characters. Pumpkins and Ghosts and Ghoulish Gore have been drawn up, then using acetate paper, they have formed the pictures with a mosaic of coloured cut squares. This was an intricate process in which our young people worked together to produce these works of art. These were displayed at the ‘Halloween Disco’ – 26th Thursday – 4pm until 6pm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On that note, here is a compilation image taken from our Facebook<\/a> page of that event. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and danced, and ate, and shared in the spirits of the season. Thank you to everyone who came, thank you to the parents for finding some amazing costumes, and thank you always to our amazing staff and volunteers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
