This Volunteer Week we'd like to say thank you to Matthew who has been visiting Jean in her home for the last month. The sessions are going well and on the visit pictured, they were enjoying a cuppa and a long chat in Jean's garden. These sessions are proving enjoyable for both client and volunteer!

This volunteer week, we'd like to give a shout to Christine who first attended our wellbeing service lacking confidence & feeling lonely and without purpose. Since then she's gone from strength to strength and is an active volunteer supporting lonely older people. Thank you for all you do Christine!

HELP we need knitters and/or wool!🧶
The Big Knit, is back! Every hat knitted/crocheted raises 30p to help us provide much-needed support to older people.
If you can make some hats or if you have some wool that you could donate that we can pass on to our army of knitters, we'd be very grateful.
