RENEW 61

A place where it is ok to not be ok!
A ‘shared front room’ with a quiet prayer space.

Mondays 10am – 1pm

How and why was Renew61 setup?

Renew61 was established by Aylesham Baptist Church. A need was identified in the community to provide a place for people suffering form social isolation and loneliness to come and find friendship support.

Social isolation is due to a number of reasons; poor mental health, loss and bereavement, moving to a new areas.

Whatever the reason, Renew61 seeks to provide a safe welcoming space.

We seek to partake in activities that encourage the 5 ways to wellbeing:

Connect, Get Active, Take Notice, Learn and Give

What can I expect at Renew61?

  • A warm welcome!
  • Tea, coffee & most importantly … cake!
  • Crafts, puzzles, games, colouring
  • A quiet prayer space
  • Friendship and support
  • A non-judgemental atmosphere

Renew61 is the only club that I've been able to attend as its so welcoming and friendly
