WAREHAM UNITED REFORMED CHURCH


       WURC, work, work!
       September onwards is going to be especially busy for us at
       Wareham URC.

       Our much-valued grant money has arrived which means we’re in
       serious planning mode for a new kitchen. The existing space will be
       completely refurbished, to include a dishwasher, freezer (don’t
       have either of those at the moment!) and a fully functioning cooker.
       Felicity is planning it all, chatting to contractors, kitchen suppliers
       and others about what’s required. The refurb will take place from
               th
       Dec 10  to early January and means that from February 2026, we
       have the facilities to offer 2 new Lunch/Brunch Clubs to those
       most in need in Wareham. To help inform us of the demographic
       with the greatest need we’ve been working with health, social care
       & voluntary sector partners. We’re also planning a “Wall of Thanks”
       for all who’ve helped (including
       those in the congregation / com-
       munity who “Fork out for a Fork!”)
       and a Launch event in the Spring.

       As we’re hoping to have a shiny
       new kitchen at the start of 2026,
       our Mission Strategy Group
       decided the rest of the premises
       needed a bit of a clean and brush
       up. The Big Clean and Clear
                                   th
       Day took place on Sept 13  with
       a cluster of pinny-clad, marigold-
       gloved enthusiasts wiping
       window ledges, removing clutter
       and generally making everything
       sparkle! We just have to keep it
       like that for the next few months.
