Welcome to your Canny Yem

We would like to invite you to come and join us for some good food and interesting conversation. We call our gathering ‘Canny Yem’ because we’re trying to emulate a good home in Newcastle for folk to meet and spend time sharing with each other. We celebrate our wonderful differences. We know we are not perfect but we’re open to learning and discovering and we always endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere. Canny Yem is for those with faith and those without faith. It’s for those exploring faith and those who’ve lost faith. It’s for those with big questions and those with doubts. We don’t know everything and we’re certainly not experts, but we enjoy meeting with each other. So why not come along? We look forward to meeting you!

The Inclusive Methodist Church

The Methodist Church in the U K is proud to be at the forefront of inclusivity in a church setting, including for all of it's LGBTQ+ members. You can find out more about how the Methodist Church is committed to Justice, Dignity and Solidarity for all, including the LGBTQ+ community,  here .

Changes to Canny Yem

We have come to the decision as a leadership team here at Canny Yem to put our Monthly Gatherings on hold for the foreseeable future. ​

There are still going to be Canny Yem events, but these will now be more focused. Our current plan is to run our Rainbow Carols and Northern Pride events as usual, and then add one at Easter (name to be decided) to celebrate God's incredible love and sacrifice for us.

Thank you so much for all those who have attended our Monthly Gatherings, and we hope to see you at our other events!
