In January 2015, we are launching a social drop in for older members of our community from 10.30-12 noon on Tuesdays

This is an initiative to provide somewhere for the older and often more isolated members  of our neighbourhood to meet others, to share a cup of tea  and hopefully to engage in some activities – music, art and exercise are in the planning pipeline already.

We are looking for an Administrator (unpaid) to oversee the smooth running of the drop in sessions.  Read more about it here.
