Roker Life is the community group attached to Roker United Reformed Church. We work with local residents and other VCSE initiatives to deliver a range of different activities including exercise, arts, cookery and community events. Social Chef delivers a range of food-based activities from our community kitchen and recently helped us to establish a Community Fridge to distribute food which would otherwise have gone to waste. Our activities are open to all and we have developed a successful portfolio over the years, offering family activities and holiday hunger schemes as well as working closely with the refugee/asylum seeker community, with our partners Friends of the Drop In. A large body of our work is focused on reducing social isolation and bringing together members of the community, who may be at risk of loneliness as well as offering inclusive activities for people with long term health conditions.
