Shine Community Hub
Shine Community Hub is the community outreach arm of Rugby CLC, created to be a light in our local area. Through practical help and opportunities to connect, Shine exists to support, encourage, and care for the people in our area and the surrounding neighbourhoods we serve.
Food Aid
When we do something to bless others, we end up getting blessed ourselves.
Our volunteers collect surplus food from supermarkets around Rugby on Friday night and then by purchasing extra food, we ensure that struggling households have the opportunity to receive a free fresh fruit and vegetable hamper each week. What began as a handful of food parcels has grown to around 50 hamper deliveries a week. Struggling households can get in touch with us to request a hamper and we also take referrals from a number of local agencies. Our local Trussel Trust Foodbank will point their clients in our direction too.
We are so glad that we have been able to sustain this project through our Vision Offering and funding from Warwickshire County Council and Rugby Borough Council.
Our band of volunteers make up the hampers each Saturday morning and deliver them to households in New Bilton, Long Lawford, Bilton, Cawston and Overslade.
If you would like to get involved in this incredible ministry, or want to discuss receiving a hamper yourself, please contact sara.rattenbury@rugbyclc.com
Little Treasures
Little Treasures is our stay and play group for babies and toddlers, and it's the perfect spot for parents to relax and connect while the little ones have fun.
Bring your babies and toddlers along to enjoy toys, sensory play, and all sorts of activities that help them learn and grow.
When? Every Friday (term time) 9:30am — 11am
Rugby SEND Support Coffee Morning
Experiencing firsthand how challenging life could be caring for children with additional needs, we wanted to create a space where other parents in similar situations could come together, share their journeys, and support one another.
If you're a parent or carer of a child with additional needs, come and join our friendly support group. It's a chance to have a cuppa, chat, and unwind with others who just get it!
When? 2nd Wednesday of the month (term time), 10am — 11:20am
