What We Do

Our Activities, Programs & Weekly Gatherings

Our Weekly Gatherings

Every Friday from 12 to 4, we meet at the Cambridge Unitarian Meeting Hall. It's a relaxed afternoon - you can join in as much or as little as you like.

Some people like to cook, others prefer to chat or just sit with a cup of tea. You don't need to book, and it won't cost you anything.

Seasonal Crafts

Throughout the year we enjoy different hands-on activities - wreath-making around Christmas, or other crafts that members suggest. It's a nice way to spend time together.

Fresh vegetables from gardens

Home-Grown Vegetables

Many members have gardens and bring along their vegetables to share. It's lovely to cook with fresh ingredients that we've grown ourselves.

A Typical Friday

Here's what a usual gathering looks like

12:00

Arrival & Welcome

Doors open and everyone is welcomed. Tea, coffee, and light refreshments are available. It's a time to settle in, catch up with familiar faces, and meet new people.

12:30

Cooking Begins

We gather in the kitchen to plan and prepare our meal together. Whether you're an experienced cook or a complete beginner, there's a role for everyone.

2:00

Meal Time

We sit down together to enjoy the meal we've prepared. This is a time for conversation, laughter, and connection over good food.

3:00

Free Time & Activities

The final hour is flexible - people chat, play games, share stories, or engage in creative activities. Some prefer quiet conversation while others enjoy group activities.

4:00

Wrap Up

We tidy up together and say our goodbyes. Everyone leaves knowing they're welcome back next Friday, and the Friday after that.

How Members Participate

Everyone chips in however they can. There's no pressure - you just do what feels right.

Share a recipe if you know a good one

Bring veg from your garden if you've got some going spare

Suggest something you'd like to try doing together

Just turn up - honestly, that's enough
