From gift to living mission
A thriving community hub in the heart of Spalding.
Project St Thomas serves the whole community — people of all faiths and none. Our weekly programme includes affordable food, coffee mornings, youth activities, friendship groups, practical courses and specialist support.
People can also access free money advice, meet local organisations through the Hub In Advice Café, or simply spend time in a friendly place where they do not have to explain why they have come.
We work with volunteers, charities, public services and local businesses so that help is easier to find and nobody has to face a difficult time alone.
Building bridges
Many cultures. One shared community.
The parish community in Spalding is beautifully diverse, representing many nationalities and cultures. This diversity is reflected in our volunteers and the people we serve.
Members of the parish from across the world help build natural bridges between long-established residents and those newly arriving in Spalding. We provide practical support, early opportunities to connect and, most importantly, a genuine sense of belonging for migrants and refugees.
Community cohesion does not happen by accident — it is built through trust, relationships and shared purpose.
Listening first. Designing together.
Responding to real community need.
As a pastoral initiative, we believe in walking alongside people. We involve community members in the design and delivery of programmes so that our work reflects lived experience and remains relevant and effective.
Using trusted spaces and established relationships, we foster authentic engagement and build lasting connections that strengthen social cohesion and trust.
