Foot Clinic Room
This room is now kept padlocked because it contains cleaning and other material which could be harmful to children who attend after-school or holiday programmes in this building. The key is on a nail on the wall on the left side of the door.
Foot Clinic
The Foot Clinic is held every 6 weeks approx. Our clients, from the community and our Church family, come to soak their feet in a foot bath, get their nails trimmed, and then finish with a foot massage. They also get a cuppa as well. We need more helpers, particularly to do the massage. You will be taught what is required. Also, we need someone who could fill in making the cuppas when our regular volunteers are away, as happens from time to time. If you are interested to see what happens feel free to come along and chat with any of the volunteers. If you think this is something you could do I would love to hear from you. – Janice C.
Clothing Shop
The clothing shop is looking for some more volunteers. It’s for one Saturday morning a month from 9.15am to 12 noon on a roster system. We really need another couple of helpers to spread the load on our present volunteers. If you think this is you, please contact Janice C.
Please check your details in the Directory: Please email or phone Tracey at the Papanui office if any of your contact details have changed. Phone 352 6197 or papanui@villagechurch.nz Thank you.
