St Mary’s is working with the wider community to raise funds for residents who lost their homes in the fire on 12th July 2026. The two households lost everything when fire ripped through their flats at 75 Shernhall Street. The building itself has now been demolished which means these families will likely face months of being homeless as well as having to start again. The fire took everything but the clothes that they were wearing that day. Every penny raised via our GoFundMe page will be passed to the residents of 75 Shernhall Street to support them during this difficult time. To support these families, click the link in our Instagram bio, or, on Facebook, click the link in the comments below.

Due to the excessive heat forecast this week, and with some schools closing early because of the high temperatures, we have decided to cancel Choc and Chat on Thursday 25 June.

We will be back as usual on Thursday 2 July.

Please take care, stay safe, and keep cool during the heatwave.
