Ever wondered what the Plus in Big Breakfast Plus means? Well, it means lots of things. And one of those things is fruit! Fresh fruit is delivered twice a week, and guests can take up to 5 pieces away. It’s a small extra, but an important one — something healthy, fresh and refreshing to enjoy.

A big thank you to the team from Suntory, who recently swapped finance for paintbrushes, cleaning and donation sorting! Their volunteering day helped refresh our shared space at The Pilgrim Centre and made a real difference to everyone who uses it. We really appreciate your support!

There was excitement in the Big Breakfast Plus café this week as our new aprons arrived! You might think they're exactly the same as the old ones, and you'd be right. But after lots of busy breakfast services, some of our older aprons had definitely earned a well-deserved retirement.

For those experiencing homelessness a backpack is more than just a bag — it’s a way to keep personal belongings safe, organised, and close at all times. Please drop-off at Pilgrim Centre, Regent Circus, SN1 1PX 7:30am - 9:00am

For Darren, homelessness wasn’t a sudden crash, but a gradual slide. At 52, he found himself sitting on a park bench, facing the same “what now?” feeling he first experienced at age 17. Read more of Darren’s story here: buff.ly/ZNuVUKi

We can't believe it's nearly May! The museum has been busy behind the scenes with the overhaul we've started in the gardens, plus a madcap week with @primetheatre.bsky.social and a young Richard Jefferies... but we digress. We are now able to share our full line-up of musicians playing this season:🧵

A collage of images showing eight acts out of over 20 the Richard Jefferies Museum has scheduled for the summer season of 2026. The ages of the musicians range from teenagers through to much more, er, mature individuals. But all are passionate about their music and we are here for it!
