New Braiswick Park

A Community Project sponsored by St. Michael's Church

 

Rosie & Vic TallowinRosie Tallowin is the Community Pastor for

New Braiswick Park, and lives with her husband Vic at 11 Tufnell Way. Here they are!

 

We hope that by Rosie living on this new housing development we will develop an understanding of what it is like to be part of this community of people of all ages, and and to help improve the quality of life for everyone who lives here, in the short or long term, owner-occupiers or tenants.

What is a Community Pastor?

 

Some people Rosie meets are not sure what a ‘Community Pastor’ is.  Rosie is living on New Braiswick Park to help where she can, and where invited to do so. Her first newsletter asked what sort of things residents would like to know about, or what was proving to be a difficult situation as a new housing development continues to be under construction.

 

In response to the suggestions and requests, Rosie has been able to provide a venue for mums to meet with their pre-school children, to have a cuppa and a chat; coffee mornings for people at home during the day so they can meet other residents; a pizza/curry evening; Job Centre Plus sessions for help with CV writing and interview tips; litter pick; Dad’s Saturday with bacon rolls & newspapers plus breakfast and activities for their children; activities for children and their parents/carers during the school holidays........

JobCentrePlus - a new venture for New Braiswick Park

An informal group called "Taking Steps" supported by the Children's Centre staff, Colchester Borough Council, JobCentrePlus and hosted by St. Michael's Church Community Pastor Rosie Tallowin, to assist people looking for work. Come along, enjoy a cup of tea and meet other people who are also looking to return to work.

 

Can you contribute your experience, whilst also learning from other people looking to return to work? Gain advice about CV presentation, jobsearching, careers guidance, interview techniques. Offer your personal experience to members of your community. We hope these groups will be run by the community, for the community, and we hope you can help.

 

These groups will not be running in July and August. Please get in touch for more information, or to find out about the next available session by contacting Rosie on

01206 853039.
