Lidl Warwick

We run activities, groups and projects from our base at The Gap Community Centre. We also manage and deliver Outreach Projects from venues at The Packmores Community Centre in Warwick and in community venues across Warwick with our Youth Team and in partnership with other charities, not-for-profits and community-interest-groups. We hire out our venues so that we can provide a wide range of support and interesting activities. This ranges from supporting families experiencing Holiday Hunger, individuals recovering from mental health traumas, bereavements and addiction, older adults groups to engage with building friendship groups, exercise activities, dementia support and crafting opportunities as well as a space to hire for birthday parties, polling days, or health clinics. Our timetables are varied and changeable, offering something for everyone 0-100yrs.

The Gap’s Mission Statement The Gap is leading the way to promote community togetherness and personal fulfilment by providing a safe and welcoming environment where people can meet and participate in social and physical activities; support groups; volunteering and learning with the aim of enhancing overall quality of life.

We are setting up a cost of living hub at the centre to run throughout the year. This will take place once a week aimed at members of the community who are in need of financial support. We anticipate 20 local residents to attend on a weekly basis. They will receive a free meal, cost of living activity (eg budgeting advice, cookery workshops) and also we give them access to the surplus supermarket food donations through yourself to take away with them.. We would not be charging for the food and would collect donations each week ourselves via our staff in time to distribute at the cost of living hub each Tuesday.
