We have had a busy festive period at the Weston Centre with carols courtesy of Duffield Singers (who braved extremely cold and wet conditions to bring us musical joy), a Christmas Monday Lunch, a screening of White Christmas accompanied by bucks fizz, and a visit to Bakewell to enjoy the Christmas tree festival and a spot of retail therapy. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to these events which were much enjoyed by all.
We were delighted to welcome so many people to the Weston Centre for our Connecting, Celebrating and Moving Forward Together week of events in November. Helped by Anthony Andrews Catering we hosted nearly 100 people throughout the week all funded by the National Lottery Local Connections Fund.
Social Prescriber
Jude Kelf, a social prescriber linked to Appletree Medical Centre, joins us for coffee on every other Tuesday. Her first visit this year is on 11th January. Jude is a mine of useful information and can offer advice on a wide range of topics linked to health and wellbeing. Why not join us for coffee and meet Jude? She will be happy to chat.
Lunch Club
We are in desperate need of volunteers to help with our Monday Lunch Club so we can continue to serve a weekly two-course hot lunch to our older people. If you can offer a few hours between 9.30am and 2.00pm to join our Monday team to help prepare, cook, serve or wash up please call Jean on 07774 246904 to talk about what’s involved.
Thank you.
