We are opening the Church Hall once a month for a new community group. It will be on the first Tuesday every month from 10am to 12pm. The next one is on Tuesday 4th July. Refreshments will be served and it will be a chance to chat over a cuppa and meet other people, and to provide the opportunity for people to come along with anything they need help with, and to see if any help or advice is available about any issue, large or small, within the group, or possibly by <a></a>referring them to others, if required. For example, if you need help with computers, practical jobs at home, or filling in forms. It is also for anyone who may be able to offer any kind of help or advice; a kind of skills bank where we can all help one another. All are welcome. Just turn up anytime between 10am and 12pm. We look forward to meeting you.
