Genesis Sunday Centre

Sundays 1pm – 5pm

Nexus Walcot Church Hall

What is the Sunday Centre?

The Sunday Centre is a project of the Genesis Trust in Bath. It offers a low cost Sunday lunch in a warm and friendly environment.

Up to 60 needy locals turn up and for £1 or 2 Genesis Lunch vouchers they receive a substantial 2-course lunch (including a vegetarian option) and afternoon tea and cakes with tea and coffee. Newspapers and games are also available.

How is it run?

Teams of volunteers from different churches from around Bath take turns in providing a meal. Nexus participates in the rota every 6-8 weeks.

The day is divided into 3 shifts – the preparation team; the serving team; and the afternoon tea and clearing up team. There is a great deal of camaraderie amongst the group and it provides an invaluable insight into the lives of some of the most vulnerable members of our city.

How can I help?

Volunteer – no cooking skills required, just a desire to help. Ages of volunteers are from 20-80, so no excuses!
