Holiday at Home, Lordshill

Thursday 6th June saw a first at Lord’s Hill Church, Southampton: a safari came to Church!

Thanks to Caraway’s Holiday at Home scheme expanding its number of venues (due to a grant from Awards for All), this year one of the locations for HaH was Lord’s Hill Church. Those who attended were mainly existing members of Lords Hill Church or participants in Church-run activities, while those who ran the day mainly came from elsewhere. The building was transformed into the African Bush for the day, with wonderful hangings depicting Safari scenes and African music plying in the background.

The holiday-makers enjoyed a variety of activities – painting glass jars, watching a film of a safari, hearing a talk about Africa, seated African dance – along with lots of great food. All went home at the end of the day having thoroughly enjoyed their ‘trip’ – and many with their special photos of their day.

A big thank you to all the helpers who prepared and the materials for and then ran the day. The date for next year’s has already been fixed!’
