Meet inside the church of St Philip and St James in Odd Down - the team will be preparing the meals in the kitchen on the left. Knock on the door to make yourself known to them.
The church service usually finishes at 12 - feel free to wait in the foyer and then grab a cuppa before heading off on the mission.
You will be given approximately 4 meals to deliver in the local area. Each address is within a 10 minute walk of the church.
These meals are lovingly cooked by the church and are served in the church but certain members of their community are unable to leave home. By delivering the meals they still get to enjoy their Sunday roast!
Some residents may give a donation for their meals - usually £5 - so you may have to return to base. You never know, there might be a space for lunch - do ask.
Note: if it’s raining, please bring a carrier bag - the meals are distributed in paper bags that might not survive a downpour.

Bath City farm is a living, working farm and visitor attraction and charity. They provide education, training and therapeutic activities to people in the local community.
They would like our help with farm activities, from weeding, moving soil and manure and if you are lucky we get to cuddle some of the farm animals afterwards.
Please come prepared for any of the eventualities above, gloves are handy (although communal gloves will be provided), and you may want legs covered.
For those meeting for the run please be out the front of the Moorfields Pub at 10am for a run up the HILL, if not then head straight to the mission for 10:30 for an hour and a half session and coffee afterwards.

The postcode is BA2 9DA, but if you follow satnav that will take you through the village to the house rather than the walled garden.
Directions; left turn at the top of the Pennyquick hill. Continue along the road for 100m, then its the turning on left before the high wall that runs along the road. If you don’t make the turn into the yard, you’ll end up at the Farm Shop, which is no bad thing, they do good coffee!
