Feeding the Homeless and Vulnerable in Doncaster Update October 2025
Tickhill Methodist Outreach Team (TMOT) continues to feed around 50 homeless
and vulnerable people outside Christchurch every Monday evening.
We are fortunate to have enthusiastic, committed volunteers from the church and the
local community. Please contact Mandy on 07745167300 for information on
volunteering with the team.
The food preparation team of 4 works hard to produce sandwiches and flasks of hot
chocolate and we are able to offer 5 different sandwich fillings. This choice has
evolved from listening to our homeless friends who are always very appreciative.
The basic meal is funded by the Church and we are very fortunate to receive
donations from individuals and from Tickhill and District Lions which fund additional
treats and hot drinks. Recently a grant of £1000 was awarded by Tesco via the
“Tesco Stronger Starts Scheme” after voting took place at local Tesco stores.
Many thanks to all who voted!
There is always a queue of hungry people waiting outside Christchurch at 6pm when
the team of 4 volunteers distribute the meals. Sometimes people stay around for a
chat whilst they eat and it’s encouraging to hear when someone is given their own
accommodation and supported to get their life back on track.
We are grateful for donations of sleeping bags, coats, socks, gloves and warm hats
but don’t have the storage space for other clothing, although we do try to distribute
any that we are given.
This year we hope to give everyone an insulated flask and a bar of chocolate as a
Christmas gift.
We would be very grateful for donations of chocolate bars (any size) or cash to
purchase the bottles so that we can fulfil this aim.
If you would like to make a donation, please bring it to Tickhill Methodist Church
lounge on Saturday 13th December 2025 between 11am and 1pm
OR ring Mandy Bird (BY Weds 10th December) on 07745167300 to arrange for
collection locally. Alternatively you could drop it off at Tickhill Methodist Church
kitchen (St Mary’s Road entrance) on a Monday between 4pm and 5pm whilst we
are preparing the meal.
Please make cheques payable to Tickhill Methodist Church.
Any surplus donations will help to fund the project in the coming year.
Your thoughtfulness and generosity will be very much appreciated by those in need
this Christmas.
