St. Peter’s church is in the centre of the Village of St. Peter’s, Broadstairs. It is largely of the Norman period in construction and is linked to St. John’s Church, Margate and St. Lawrence Church, Ramsgate. These three churches were chapels of ease to the mother church of St. Mary’s, Minster.

There is no definite date for the original construction of St Peter’s but 1050 is quoted for St. John’s and 1062 for St. Lawrence therefore it is likely that between these dates St. Peter’s Chapel was constructed.

The South aisle was the first chapel at St Peters, standing alone, but the church was enlarged to the north in 1180-1185.

The present building has a late Norman nave and an Early English Chancel. The battlemented tower and the south porch are in the Perpendicular architectural style from the 15th Century. The tower is a prominent feature and, for long the highest point in Thanet, it was used as a Naval signalling station in Napoleonic times and still claims the right to fly the White Ensign.

Recorded live in Morelli's whilst customers enjoyed Coffee, tea and of course Ice Cream.

Joe tells us about the history of Morelli's and where it is now and how the ice cream is made and about the staff who make it happen.

The first Morelli's Ice Cream Parlour in the UK was opened by Mario on the Broadstairs seafront above the picturesque Viking Bay in Kent.

Morelli’s in Broadstairs has, under the guidance of the Morelli family become a Mecca for gelato in the UK - set off by it’s iconic 1950’s flying canopy, Soda Fountain, original Lloyd Loom chairs and pink leatherette parlour seating.

Mario’s son Joe was the first to serve 18 flavours of ice cream following the Parlour upgrade and expansion in 1959, followed by Marino who continued in his footsteps and made Morelli's what it is today..

Every morning since 1907, in a tradition continued to this day, the ice cream at Morelli's is made fresh in every store.

Today we speak we with Kerry from The Broadstairs Town Shed. This is a volunteer led initiative a place for older people, (50+) to get together, and participate in meaningful and rewarding DIY/woodwork and metalwork-based activities.

Joining the Shed can help tackle loneliness and isolation, allows members to share and learn new skills, and increases community involvement & engagement.

The Shed works with many other local organisations and support groups, providing carpentry and woodworking skills to help those projects in turn.

The original Broadstairs Town Shed opened its doors in May 2014. It's been a team effort and we've had lots of local individual and business support to make it happen.

The Gap Project in Broadstairs is a vibrant and innovative charity serving the local community, in an area of deprivation, using the fantastic facilities of Queens Road Baptist Church.

The ethos of the Gap Project is to provide a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.

Our person-centred approach enables everybody to have the opportunity to have a mentor to support them in fulfilling their potential.

The GAP Project is an all-inclusive and welcoming church-based community project for groups, activities and individual support for people in poverty and deprivation. They are based within the Thanet area, which is placed within England's top 10% of most deprived authorities.

More than 1,000 people come through the doors each week and the project is supported by 150 volunteers who manage the Café and a large variety of groups and activities. The main aim of the project is to provide a safe place for people to access the support and resources they need to build their self esteem, make informed decisions and improve their quality of life.

It is a safety net for people to access in times of need - with access to advice, support, friendship and a hot meal in times of crisis. The project enables people to reach their potential, whether it be within education, relationships or employment.

The project's has two social enterprises, The Gap Community Café and the charity shop ‘Gap in the Market', both are big contributors to our funding.

GAP has provision for the elderly, work with the under 5's and families, work with young people and also those with mental health issues.

The GAP project is a safety net and stepping stone for those in the local community and their impact is immeasurable.

We are all volunteers who choose to work together for the good of our town.

Why we started back in 2012

We came together to do positive things, where we can see ways we can help, to make our town even better than we already know it is. We love Broadstairs.

We know that most of the people who live here do too and that visitors often fall in love with it from the moment they arrive. It's a great place.

What we do

Some projects are quite simple to bring to life, some take more planning and organisation and some things we choose not to take on, because we are all volunteers, we can only do what we can do. If you'd like to give an hour, share your skills to support any of our activities we'd be delighted.

Why we need help from volunteers of all kinds

There are some very specific skills you may use in your every day life that we always need more of, if you're a whizz at social media, design, artwork, project management or sourcing and applying for funding - and you'd like to put those skills to good use to support your community - we'd love to chat!

We also rely on the generosity of time and skills donated to all the projects we manage by local people.

There is an extraordinary willingness to volunteer in Broadstairs, not just for Town Team, but for the many other volunteer run community groups that make things happen. You can read more about our friends who support us here.

We love to collaborate.

We also put interested parties together within and for our community, to help make things happen for our town.
