community pantry

The principle of our community pantry is give, take, swap. If you need something take it, if you want to give something to it, do and if you have extra tins of one thing swap it for something else that might be more helpful.


The pantry can be found inside the church porch.

Collection points can be found inside Budgens, The Three Horseshoes or inside the church building!


If you can help, please contact the parish administrator.

Tuesdays 6.30pm - 9.30pm at St Michael's @ 47

(47 Redwood Drive, Waddington, Lincoln, LN5 9BN)

This group is for those currently serving and veterans of the military and emergency services and their family members (age 18+). Come along and be a part of a community that values your service - past and present.

New location for 2026.

projects

Alongside our weekly activities, Cat, the Community Projects and Wellbeing Hub Lead, leads small time limited projects.


In April 2024 we enjoyed partnering with Rachel Fox, the local Community Co-ordinator North & South Kesteven, and some volunteers from RAF Waddington to improve the garden at St. Paul's Nursing Home in Waddington.


Some of the children at a local child minders visit St Paul's Nursing Home to sing songs and bring a smile to the face of the residents.


The Wellbeing Hub organised Dementia Friends training over the summer of 2024 and it was attended by members of the local Scout group, staff from RAF Waddington and other local businesses alongside church members and local residents.
