In the Community
Members from SRBC are involved in a variety of activities and service in our community during the week. Here are some examples.
Listening service in local school
In partnership with NISCU, we have started a listening service at West End Primary School. We have a small team of trained listeners who support the school each Wednesday by helping with reading and, where appropriate, offering pastoral help.
"Each week, the children look forward to their reading slots with each adult, not just to practice their reading but because they are listened to. They show they care, and this makes a big difference in our children's day at school. A big thank you and we appreciate all that you do." Mrs Hunt, Deputy Head
Care home ministry
Over the last few years, we have worked closely with the team at Woodhill House in Morecambe. We hold a monthly Communion service that is open to residents, staff and visitors. It is held on the second Tuesday of each month at 2pm. We have also supported the home pastorally, taking funerals and leading an annual memorial service.
Carer's Cafe
We also work with Woodhill House on an occasional Carer's Cafe.
This is aimed at those who have, or have had, caring responsibility, perhaps for a relative or friend.
We meet on a Tuesday afternoon (alternating between Woodhill House and Stanley Road) to offer mutual support, encouragement and advice. Contact us for details. Dates for 2025: Jan 28 (WH), March 25 (SR), May 27 (WH), July 22 (SR), Sept 23 (WH), Nov 25 (SR).
Safe Families
A couple of our members volunteer with the charity Safe Families UK in providing valuable support and guidance to families that have been identified as being in need of help.
Teaching the Christian faith
We occasionally help local schools with their religious education curriculum, offering a Christian insight into certain issues, and teaching children some of the practices and beliefs of the church. Each Easter, we welcome two local schools to a Walk Through Easter workshop.

We have worked with groups of Beaver Scouts too in helping them with their places of worship syllabus. Do get in touch if you would like to discuss how we can help with teaching the Christian faith at your school or community group.
"I just wanted to let you know that the staff and children said The Walk Through Easter was great yesterday and they really enjoyed it. Thanks again to you and all the volunteers." Teacher, West End Primary School
