Renew Ainon

We have a special sip and paint evening coming up at Ainon on Friday 9th October and it would be great to see some of you there.

A sip and paint is a relaxed social event where you paint a picture while enjoying a drink 🎨🥂

Everyone will be guided through the same painting step by step, with canvases, paints and brushes provided. You don’t need any experience, it’s about enjoying yourself. It would be lush to see some of you there.

Tickets are available at
https://paint.ainon.co.uk
If you have any issues bookinh, one of the leaders at Renew will be happy to help you or message us on here. 😊

Due to the Red Weather Alert for health and the forecast high temperatures, we have taken the decision to cancel Renew this Wednesday.

The wellbeing and safety of everyone who attends is our priority, particularly those who may be more vulnerable to the heat.

Our foodbank will still be available from 2-4pm as this is an essential service, but will run from the main church foyer where we hope temperatures will be a little cooler than the cabin.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back next week. Please stay cool, keep hydrated, and take care of yourselves and one another. ☀️💛

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Renew picnic. We began as usual in the hall and, due to the rain, moved into our picnic area inside the church, making the best of the weather together.

Special thanks to Paul Mann for playing the violin so beautifully while we ate; it added something really special to the afternoon.

The picnic was held in memory of our regular visitor, June Maddern, who sadly passed away earlier this year. In her honour, and to support her favourite charity, we are pleased to share that, with a contribution from Renew Ainon, we have raised £250 for Y Bwthyn hospice.
