Grubngabclub-Coventry Open Christmas

Grubngabclub-Coventry Open Christmas Coventry Open Christmas is a voluntary organisation managed by the "Grub & Gab" club. We are also a charity.

We provide shelter and food to the homeless and lonely over Christmas - and additional support such as 'pop-up' shelters during the year. During Christmas 1991 it was recognised by one of our founders that there was a real need for a shelter for the homeless who were arriving in Coventry simply to get a meal at Holy Trinity Church. The very next year the Coventry Open Christmas shelter opened its

doors for the very first time, as a โ€˜one night onlyโ€™ project. This proved to be a roaring success and so much so that it has now grown from those very humble origins to a shelter that is now preparing to open its doors again this Christmas.

Itโ€™s ! ๐Ÿ’œ
Every year, the first week in June is an opportunity to celebrate and thank the incredible volunteers who make community groups like ours possible.
What better way to start than by recognising one of our most dedicated volunteers, Sylvia!

At 80 years young, Sylvia volunteers with Grub & Gab Club Coventry every single week, bringing warmth, kindness, and a friendly face to everyone who attends. Her commitment, enthusiasm, and willingness to help make a real difference to our club and the people who rely on it.

Whether she's welcoming members, lending a helping hand, or simply taking the time to chat with someone who needs it, Sylvia embodies everything that community spirit is about.

We are incredibly grateful for all that Sylvia does and proud to have her as part of the Grub & Gab family.
Thank you, Sylvia, for your dedication, generosity, and the positive impact you make every week. ๐ŸŒŸ

Hello Dan,
I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for arranging this wonderful trip for us. We truly had an amazing time, and it became a very special experience for both me and my little one. My son especially enjoyed every moment of it, and seeing him so happy made this trip even more meaningful for me. Honestly, without your help and effort in organizing everything, I probably would not have had the opportunity to take him there.
Everything was arranged so nicely, and your kindness, time, and support are deeply appreciated. Itโ€™s not often that someone goes out of their way to make such beautiful memories possible for others, and I genuinely want you to know how grateful I am. This trip gave us memories that we will always cherish.
Thank you once again for all your effort, thoughtfulness, and generosity. I truly appreciate everything from the bottom of my heart.
