Welcome to the Big Summer Community Week Staff & Volunteer Hub. This page is a private, behind‑the‑scenes space created to keep our team updated with the latest information, guidance, and resources for running the week smoothly.
Everything you’ll need — from daily briefings and schedule changes to practical instructions and important notices — will be posted here. If you’re serving during Big Community Week, this is your first point of reference.
Please check back regularly, as details may be updated throughout the week.
Thank you for giving your time, energy, and heart to make this week happen. We couldn’t do it without you.
Third Update
Dear wonderful SBC volunteer,
We are so encouraged by the commitment to the Big Summer Community Week. We have briefed 75 volunteers this week at the two meetings we have had. Please find attached:
-
The BSCW briefing document circulated at the meeting
-
The Safeguarding slides that Jackie R presented.
Key updates - please read carefully:
1) Share website with your friends and neighbours: Please share the electronic flier and website link on Whatsapp (text us if you need it) and other social media as it comes up really well: Big Summer Community Week 2026 | Streatham Baptist. If you have friends with children please let them know there is a special info sheet for parents they can download on the website.
2) Your SBC T-shirt(s). These have been ordered in your size you requested and they will be available at church on Sunday 19th July. If you offered to pay £10 for your T-shirt(s) please note how to pay:
-
On Sunday 19th you can pay for your T-shirt(s) by either card or cash
-
During the BSCW you will NOT be able to pay by card so please ensure you bring cash if you are not coming to church on 19th July.
-
You can do a bank transfer to church but please reference it as 'T Shirt' and let us know so we help the church office out. Details: Streatham Baptist Church, Account no: 32303378, Sort Code: 60-20-39
Any questions please come back to Nikki or Jon.
thanks!
Jon and Nikki
Second Update
Hi all,
'Out of action' email
Unfortunately, the email address we set up for the week has been temporarily suspended as our activity (emailing so many new volunteers all at once) looks suspicious to Google. Sorry if you have sent an email and it bounced back. For the meantime, please use this personal email if you need to email me. Alternatively, whatsapp me on 07866 551509.
T-shirt sizes
If you have already emailed me your preferred T shirt size and if you have received a reply from us saying 'thanks and noted', please ignore this.
If you haven't sent a T shirt size, please do.
If you have sent it to us, but haven't received a reply, please could you send it again.
We hope to order them this Friday.
Many thanks and sorry for any inconvenience,
Nikki and Jon

Our First Update
Firstly, thanks for getting involved in the Big Summer Community Week. Its going to be lots of fun. We have over 90 volunteers signed up!
This email has some really important information so please take time to read it, but the KEY messages are:
1) All volunteers need to attend a Safeguarding briefing - either in person on Sunday 5th July from 12.30-1.15pm or online on Wednesday 8th July from 8-8.45pm (on SBC zoom via website). Please let Nikki know if you cannot make either date by replying to this email.
2) We are having SBC ‘Community Volunteer’ t-shirts made which we want all volunteers to wear during the week and which will be able to be used at future events too. Please confirm 2 things:
a. What size you would want: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL
b. Could you pay £10 to cover the cost and keep your own t-shirt
We will send out further emails about once a week as we approach the Big Summer Community Week but do come back to us if you have any questions.
See below briefing attached as a PDF.
Thanks,
Jon and Nikki
