| Making Connexions is an outreach run by Rugby and
Daventry Methodist Circuit, which uses a motorhome nicknamed "Elmer"
(after Elmer the Patchwork Elephant). Elmer is used to reach out
to people across Rugby who are lonely and isolated. We provide a
welcoming space for people to come on board for a drink; chat; community
information and bags of surplus food.
Referrals can be made through local churches and
frontline workers including housing officers, police and family
support workers.
We work in close partnership with local organisations,
helping them to build stronger links with their local community
and reimagine what it means to be church.
Supporters include the Methodist Church, Warwickshire
County County, Warwickshire Police Crime Commisioner and local
community partnerships.
