Hand in Hand

Disability support: Hand in Hand is a Deanery group that meets monthly in the Warwick / Leamington Spa area. We aim to build a supportive community and explore faith by using symbol, art, drama, sign language and music, using a ‘symbolic catechesis’ approach, developed to meet the different stages of faith, different cultures and different intellectual abilities in our diverse parishes. Our members currently range in age from teens to 70+ and reflect this diversity.

Whatever their reasons for coming, all are welcome at the Shelter. We open not just for rough sleepers, but for all vulnerable and needy people and those who often feel ignored. From 9pm on Sunday and Wednesday nights, a team of volunteers offers a warm meal, company and comfortable surroundings to about 30 people, about a third of whom then stay the night. Support is also given in other ways.
