Companions Café Update
Companions Café Update 1600 1200 Liz Matthews

This morning’s Companions Café was a lovely group, it was the second gathering of this supportive community. The relaxed and welcoming atmosphere encouraged companions to open up and learn from one another as they shared their challenging experiences on their dementia journeys.

Attendees enjoyed an interactive morning filled with various activities, including pebble painting, flower pressing, word searches, and discussions about music genres. The event provided a warm and safe space for those caring for loved ones living with dementia to connect, find support, and share experiences with others who truly understand their situation.

The Companions Café offers regular resources and guest speakers sharing invaluable advice. Limited spaces are available for loved ones to attend, supported by experienced volunteers. The café meets every 4th Thursday of the month from 10:00 am to 11:30 am at the Haydon Wick Parish Council Office (SN25 1QQ).

Those interested in learning more about the Haydon Wick Parish Council Companion Café are encouraged to reach out to Co-Ordinator Jo at memorycafe@haydonwick.gov.uk or 01793 722446 for more information and to join in creating heart-warming moments.

Exciting progress on our new Grounds Maintenance Facility!
Exciting progress on our new Grounds Maintenance Facility! 2333 1750 Liz Matthews

The foundations and concrete pad are complete, paving the way for the steel structure to rise. This development requires the removal of two trees to ensure adequate space around the facility’s boundary, in accordance with approved plans.

While we never take tree removal lightly, it’s necessary for safety and compliance. Rest assured, we’re committed to environmental sustainability, and we will plant new trees elsewhere in the parish to offset this loss and enhance our community’s green spaces. This facility will significantly improve our ability to maintain public areas for everyone’s benefit.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to develop your community!
