Meanwhile, Wickham Primary School’s year 5 and

part in the consultation about the kind of person
the diocese needed as its new Bishop. Here’s
their wise and thoughtful advice:
• The Bishop should be kind, caring and
respectful to all, regardless of their faith.
• Pupils would like the Bishop to try to
find ways to encourage children to attend
the church more often. They recognised
that they don't go to church but wondered
if there might be ways to encourage
families to be more involved in the life of
the church.

Our Wickham Funeral Home
Our funeral home in Wickham is located at 13 The Square. Although it is
difficult to confirm exactly when the property was built, we believe that it was
in the 1700’s.
Today, the property has been extensively refurbished to provide the highest
standards of care and support for our families. It was important to retain and
enhance the existing oak beams thus retaining the correct atmosphere.
You will enter into a warm and inviting reception area, where the door is always
open between Monday and Friday, and by appointment at any other time.
We have an arranging lounge which provides privacy and quiet when dealing with
the arrangements for a funeral.

care and support.

Before lockdown, Fareham Meon Rotary Club successfully

Equipment to enable renal patients in Fareham, Gosport and Lee
on Solent to be trained at the unit to undertake their own dialysis
at home rather than having to enter hospital.

Great news… we are back!
It might seem rather early to start thinking about our November production of CINDERELLA, but there’s
much to do before then!
Auditions, Casting and Rehearsals of course, but costumes, scenery, music and lighting all have to be
planned well in advance and we are starting now!
For those of you who have been ‘locked down’ for so many months, the effect on yourself may well have
been difficult to cope with. By joining a Drama Group, you can begin to rebuild your confidence and self-
esteem and even surprise yourself with your hidden talents. We aren’t all needed for the stage but so
much happens ‘off-stage’ -whether it be helping at the stage door, designing and making costumes,
helping with scenery and makeup or perhaps helping with the bar or ice cream sales- that there will
always be a place for you.
Looking even further ahead, we already have plans to stage our long-awaited “Shadow Factory” next
