Refugee Project
For several years now St. Catherine’s has supported refugees in the local community. Current projects involve a weekly Stammtisch for refugees and others to practice their German and a monthly Kleiderkammer. On the 4th Sunday of the month, after church, at 14:00 clothes and small household items are put out for refugees to select. We are very lucky to have two excellent and dedicated helpers, Salam and Shukri, who organise the Kleiderkammer – collecting clothes, notifying the refugees of the date, putting out all the items and organising helpers. It is a project they cherish and they are very keen to continue. We urgently need donations of clothing for the Kleiderkammer and to increase our pool of volunteers from St. Catherine’s. Clothing can be dropped off at the Anglican Centre before or after church or on Fridays from 17:30 when the Stammtisch takes place.
Anyone interested in volunteering with the project should speak to Alison. Volunteers will be expected to complete Safe Guarding requirements set out by the Diocese in Europe.
Thank you for your support in keeping this project running.
