Hitchin Christian Centre

First Stop Breakfast Bar has won a National Breakfast Club Award 2007/08 for the category of Community Involvement from ContinYou, sponsored by Kelloggs. This is a fantastic achievement for First Stop, its volunteers and HCC. It's the first time that this national award has been given to a non-school based breakfast bar run by a church.

The judges chose the club because it:

• Engaged well with the local community, demonstrating tangible benefits
• Renewed the pupils interest in the local area, leading them to engage in the wider community through volunteering
• Broke down barriers between children and young people.

This has all been achieved by, someone initially having a passion and a vision to make a difference, which then inspired others to commit themselves to prayer, and the hard work required to put their faith into action. It has been sustained by the strong relationships that have developed between the volunteers, and the many individuals and organizations within our community.
