Activities
Westlea Church runs a number of other activities during the year.
They include:
- Partnership Activities
- Support for Partnership wide activities and those of other local churches
- Walks, both local to Swindon and further afield. Last year we walked as a Partnership amongst the Bluebells in West Woods near Marlborough. Details of Church and Partnership walks in previous years can be found here
- Men's Might, primarily social events for men in and associated with the church. Although activities are often opened up to family and friends.
- Social Activities
- Regular barbecues and "bring and share" meals as well as many other opportunities to share fun and fellowship together.
- Charity Events
- Last year as part of Fairtrade fortnight we had a Fairtrade breakfast which raised £95 for safe water projects run by Samaritan's Purse.
- At the Nativity Service last year, our collection was for the Swindon Food Bank. Over last year we collected over 150kg of food for those in need in Swindon. Thank you to all.
- We support Christian Aid with their house-to-house collection as we have in previous years. You may have seen adverts on the television, or a red envelope through your door. In 2009 we collected £816.62 from Westlea and Eastleaze - Thank you!
- Our most recent cake sale and auction raised approx £300 (! from cakes!) to help the Swindon Harbour Project cater for refugees in Swindon.
- Details of the charities we regularly support as a Church can be found here.
