Stainforth 4 ALL – October 2026
Halloween Fun Brings a Spook-tacular Evening
Our Halloween Party on 30th October was a fantastic success, with more than 50 local children joining us for an evening packed with fun.
Children enjoyed party games, plenty of prizes, free refreshments and lots of laughter throughout the night. A special congratulations goes to the winners of our fancy dress competition, who each received an Amazon voucher for their brilliant costumes.
A big thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it a spooky evening.
Job Club Continues to Support Local Residents
Another busy month for the Stainforth4All Job Club has seen 14 people receive support to create and update their CVs. We have also helped one resident complete a forklift truck refresher course, supported one new volunteer into a placement and assisted another person in obtaining photo ID.
Learning Spanish Through Games
Our friendly Spanish language group has been having great fun learning through a variety of games. Tutor Blanca has introduced members to Spanish versions of Cluedo, Monopoly, Scrabble and Memory, helping students build confidence and vocabulary in a new way. New members are always welcome. The group meets every Friday at 1pm.
New Digital Support Sessions
As part of the UK Government-funded Crisis Resolution Project, we are now offering digital support drop-in sessions every Monday afternoon.
Whether you need help using a mobile phone, tablet or laptop, our team is on hand to provide friendly, one-to-one support between 1pm and 4pm. We can assist with online applications, updating benefit journals, contacting organisations online, finding information and accessing free online computer courses.
Christmas Fayre Coming Soon
We are delighted to be hosting Suzanne Allsopp's Christmas Fayre on Friday 11th December from 11am until 4pm. There will be a range of handmade gifts, a delicious cake stall and hamper raffles, making it the perfect opportunity to pick up a festive bargain while supporting local community activities. Everyone is welcome.
Toy Appeal and Christmas Raffle
With Christmas fast approaching, we are once again appealing for donations of new toys. Donations for children of all ages can be dropped off at the library during normal opening hours and will help bring a little extra festive cheer to local families.
We are also looking for prizes for our Christmas Raffle. Donations of new and unused gifts would be greatly appreciated and will help us continue to provide free activities and events throughout the year.
