At the end of November, 'The Friends of Sherborne Preparatory School' set off on a virtual challenge of 32,400 miles to visit 'Friends Around the Globe'.  Visiting Doha, Singapore, Auckland and Tianjin, China they were able to hold virtual assemblies with their friends and learn about our amazing planet on the way. By logging their walks, runs, cycles, swims, rows and even skiing the amazing Team has propelled the schools Red Dragon across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the heat of the Australian outback and the bitter Siberian Winter all with the aim of raising money for the Sherborne Community Kitchen Charity. 

The event raised a staggering £1,118.75 of which £715 was presented as a cheque, the remainder was via the schools Just Giving page. Ian Crighton, a trustee of the SCK was delighted to receive the cheque from the Headmaster Nick Folland and new head girl and boy at the school, Mia and Archie.

On 25th March 2020 at the start of the first Lockdown, Sherborne Community Kitchen was born. Worried that people might not be getting a proper meal each day two people sent out 12 meals cooked by Jane at Olivers to frail and vulnerable people with treats from coffee shops donating their closing stock to us. Here is our earliest photograph: 

By 3rd April we were delivering 36 meals a day. We had hand-written delivery routes and were typing up menus, food allergen labels for hours each night at home!

One year on and Sherborne Community Kitchen is a growing Charity forged from the same principles of care for our community and respect for each other. Our amazing team of 41 Volunteers including 17 drivers, 6 packers, 8 callers, 2 chef team have made packed and delivered thousands of meals. Our wonderful Trustees have led us faithfully and with humour. We have professional IT support and benefit from partnerships with local schools, businesses and the Primary Care Network. We have National Lottery Funding, a growing social media presence and a bright future ahead.
Throughout this time I have been humbled and inspired by the resourcefulness and dedication of our team.
​
There are many stories about how our volunteers have made a difference: sat with someone, said a kind word, found someone who has fallen, reported a concern. Our food has literally been a lifeline with high quality fresh ingredients prepared with a smile by Adrian the king of Pop Master! To our volunteers a HUGE thank you for your time and your talents to help those who need it most.

Volunteers throughout Sherborne have stepped up to the challenge to support their local community through charities such as Sherborne Area Community Kindness, the Sherborne food bank and of course Sherborne Community Kitchen..

Providing vital support to some of Sherborne’s most vulnerable residents, volunteers provide services including delivering shopping, providing food parcels, collecting medication, preparing fresh, locally sourced meal deliveries and doorstep chats to help with loneliness. 

Jill Warburton, founder of Sherborne Community Kitchen comments, “I have been amazed at the level of commitment, dedication and selflessness shown by all the volunteers who have played such a huge part in the smooth operation of Sherborne Community Kitchen. From cooking the delicious food, taking food orders and delivering the lunches to our appreciative customers, these men and women have stepped up and offered their time to help our communities through a very tough and difficult year. I would like to thank them all on behalf of the residents of Sherborne and the surrounding villages– our response to this pandemic would not have succeeded without them. We are enormously grateful to each and every volunteer for the time and energy they have given to support our community.

I encourage anyone who would like to volunteer to sign up. Although the Prime Minister has set out the roadmap for ending lockdown restrictions, many people may still be nervous about going out, but we are all in this together and we will get through this by supporting each other.”
