St Etheldreda’s SVP Conference has set up a food and drink token scheme with two cafes in town for
aiding rough sleepers in Ely. The scheme is now in operation.
We would like to encourage members of the parish to donate a few pounds to pay for a drink token or a food token by visiting one of the two cafes near Ely Market Place, Market Kitchen or Alfresco (each is located at either end of Dolphin Lane).
The purchased tokens are kept on display in the shop; a rough sleeper visits the cafe and requests to exchange one for a drink or some food.
On Sunday 21st July, we held our now annual parish BBQ. A great time was had a by all and the weather couldn’t have been better! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this wonderful day and to all those who came along.
