A lady who established a village warm hub decades before they were invented has baked some 13,000 scones for her Kineton users.

Sally Stanton started her coffee morning In January 2005. It was a regular charity event called Meeting Point and is still being held on Thursday mornings in St Peter’s Church, Kineton.

“Over the last twenty years, it has become a village institution, bringing all sorts of people together and serving as a ‘warm hub’ before warm hubs were a thing,” said Rev Barry Jackson.

“Each week, Sally gets up and bakes her famous scones and a cake for the event. There is no charge but people can donate if they wish.

“Over the years, Sally has baked about 13,000 scones and raised £18,000+ for various charities, including local scouts, playgroup, Friends of the Primary School, Shipston Home Nursing and the Salvation Army.

“We’ll be saying a special thank you to Sally this Thursday morning as Meeting Point celebrates its 20th birthday,” he said.
