In 2022, this facilitated the setting up of a new toddler group aimed at offering space for parents ènd carers to meet and socialise. In 2023 this will extend to a new weekly afternoon tea'drop in, for tIK)se who need to meet others and live on their own. The Priory Churche5 also seek to 'tdl their story of as expressed in the Alms and PurtK)se5 of the charity- The primary objective of the Ffc is the prornotion of the Gospel of OLW Lord Jesus Christ according to the (k)ctrines and practice5 of the Church of Eng13nd' _through artively offering opr¢)rrunities to explore the values of Christianity.
