Important Boston update: Temporary pause of groups held at Centenary Church, Black Sluice, and Swineshead

24th April 2025

Due to sudden funding cuts, we have had to make the unavoidable decision to temporarily pause a small number of our wellbeing groups held in Centenary Church, Black Sluice, and Swineshead, Boston.

As of 23rd April 2025, the following groups will be paused or on hold.

Groups paused from 23 April – 12 May 2025:

• Art and Craft Group (Mondays) – Centenary Church

Groups on hold from 23 April 2025 (until further notice):

• Dungeons & Dragons (Mondays) – Centenary Church
Art and Craft Group (Thursdays) – Black Sluice
Art and Craft Group (Tuesdays) – Swineshead

We understand how important these sessions are to you, so we are actively seeking new funding opportunities. We hope to resume these groups as soon as possible.

The BEAM café will still be operating at Centenary Church and all other wellbeing groups at Novak House will continue as scheduled – we encourage you to attend and stay connected with the community. The St Barnabas Wellbeing Centre in Boston, known as Novak House, offers many groups and activities that are free to attend:

• Secondary Breast Cancer Support Group: 12pm – 2pm, second Monday of every month
Creative Wellbeing Group: 10am – 12pm, every Tuesday
Bereavement Support Group: 1pm – 3pm, first and third Tuesday of the month
Drop In Coffee Morning: 10am – 12pm, every Wednesday
MND Support Group: 11am – 12.30pm, fourth Thursday of the month
Knit & Natter Group: 10am – 12pm, every Friday
