Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of D-Day
Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of D-Day 1512 2016 Liz Matthews
Residents from The Haven and Memory Café came together in a heart warming celebration to honour the remarkable D-Day Landings of World War II. The national dish of fish and chips was served, evoking cherished memories over a delicious meal.

The talented singer Nicki Pearce graced us with her beautiful voice, serenading the room with beloved tunes that transported us back in time. Residents joyfully sang along, waving flags and taking to the dancefloor in high spirits. It was a poignant moment, remembering both fond memories and absent friends, with a few tears shed in reflection.

As we commemorated the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord – the largest combined naval, air and land campaign in history – we paid tribute to the brave soldiers who united for this pivotal operation. The incredible afternoon allowed us to honour their immense courage and sacrifice through shared stories, jovial singing and amazing company. We felt deep gratitude resonating throughout the room.

The event truly captured the resilient spirit of that era, filling our hearts with pride for those who served. It was an afternoon brimming with reminiscence, companionship and respect for the heroes of D-Day.

Volunteers’ Week 2024
Volunteers’ Week 2024 2480 1676 Liz Matthews
🎉 Let’s hear it for our incredible volunteers! 🙌
This Volunteers’ Week, we hung out the bunting to honour the superstars who make our community programmes shine. From our lovely over 60s crew to our memory café champions, our trusty community bus drivers, and our litter-picking heroes – we couldn’t do it without you!
We invited these generous souls for an afternoon of sweet treats and warm conversation as a small token of our immense gratitude. Your selfless dedication allows us to keep bringing joy, connection, and vibrance to every corner of our community.
We even enjoyed the company of our ‘little-pickers’ volunteers who with their child minder go out into the community once a month dressed in the hi-viz to collect litter, instilling a sense of community and responsibility for their environment at this young age is awesome!
Volunteering is the magic that helps communities thrive, and we’re forever grateful to have such a passionate, caring bunch in our midst. Give it up for our local legends! 👏👏👏
Volunteers’ Week is a national celebration of the incredible impact volunteers make across the UK. From June 1st-7th, let’s shout it from the rooftops: volunteers are the backbone of society, and we couldn’t do it without them!
If you are interested in becoming a valued volunteer contact our Administrator, Jackie on 01793 722446 or email her on admin@haydonwick.gov.uk

Soft Play and Socialise
Soft Play and Socialise 1512 2016 Liz Matthews
On Friday, 31st May, the Haydon Wick Parish Council Office transformed into a wonderland of soft play paradise! Little ones bounced, tumbled, and made new friends.🤩
🎈 As the children were having fun, parents kicked back, relaxed, and connected with others over refreshments in a calm environment. It was the ultimate win-win situation and the event was a half-term hit with our young families. The attendees really welcomed the quality time with their little ones and the fantastic opportunity to meet others.
The Parish Council Office buzzed with excitement as children giggled and explored the inflatable play structures. It was a day filled with laughter, play, and cherished moments for families throughout the community.🎉

The fun kicked off on Monday with our lively Limited Mobility Exercise Class (free of charge!) – get ready to groove again at the next class on Monday, June 3rd.

Mid-week brought even more excitement as Wednesday saw the launch of the 6-Week Tai Chi Course. The room was buzzing with an enthusiastic crowd of participants ready to find their inner zen!

But the thrills didn’t stop there! Thursday marked the launch of our brand-new Companions Café for dementia caregivers. The lovely Helen from the Alzheimer’s Society joined us, armed with leaflets galore and tons of fantastic info to share. After much deliberation, we’ve decided this amazing café will now happen on the 4th Thursday of each month- next date being 27th June.

Then Friday really brought the party! Our unforgettable Charity Quiz Night entertained all the quiz-loving guests with riveting rounds and a hilarious host. Plus, the phenomenally successful raffle helped raise a whopping £523.88 for the Councillors’ chosen charities – the Kelly Foundation and BEST (Be a better you!)

The fun-raising kept on going strong into the weekend! Sunday was a sunny spectacular in Haydon Wick as your energetic Councillors hosted an awesome cross-parish charity run. Councillors, families, and parishioners laced up for a cause, hitting the pathways to support our worthwhile charities.

Our current fundraising total for these two events sits at an impressive £637.83 but we’re hoping to boost that number even higher. Quick, click here to donate to these two super-worthy causes!
