Free Autumn Programmes for over 50s
I interrupt my usual newsletter, to bring you this announcement...
A break from ranting about builders, Brexit & bull**** to tell you about two programmes which have consumed considerable energy on my part over lockdown and for which I’d be very grateful if you’d spread the word on your social channels or simply by forwarding this newsletter!
I’m really proud of these programmes that myself, Mark, Eileen, Jenny, Steve, Alex and our amazing team of volunteers (thank you Annabel, Peter, Paul, Olivia) have managed to co-create and the opportunity to help more people that may be struggling during this period of time.
