This week was the final Chilli Tuesday of this academic year. The Calderdale College students are mostly into GCSE season, so exams and revision for the next few weeks.
Over 29 weeks we had 1283 visits to Chilli Tuesday! The lowest number of students/staff was 28 and the highest 64.
Each week the students enjoyed good food from The King's Coffee House, games, laptops, chill out area and colouring sheets. Phones were charged, WiFi used and some great music was blasted out! We had a core of 8 volunteers with a few others who dropped in occasionally who made sure the students were welcomed and served with food and brews.
At Christmas each student received a selection box and a book on faith and prayer and at Easter a creme egg. Several students enjoyed temporary tattoos (Jesus Loves Festivals and )
Thanks to all the students and staff who made the 2025/26 Chilli Tuesday season an amazing success and the place to be on Tuesday lunchtimes! Thanks to National Lottery Good Causes and Warm Welcome Campaign who offered funding and CICS - Christians in Calderdale Schools and Calderdale College for helping promote Chilli Tuesday at various College events / on the college app and screens.
