Our warmest thanks go out to Jordan, Marilyn, Helen, and Vera for their wonderful contributions at the Wellbeing Hub in Rushenden today. Together, they helped replant the raised planters with a variety of fresh herbs, bringing new life to our community space.
Join us again on 28th May, as we roll up our sleeves and dive into painting our wooden planters, getting them all set for growing delicious fruits and vegetables.

We extend our gratitude to Sue and her dedicated team of volunteers from Carers Stepping Out for extending a warm invitation to our Teynham members to participate in their Walk n Talk event at Knole Park. Despite the sweltering heat, many enthusiastically joined the extended walk around the estate, enjoying the sight of the wild deer herd. Meanwhile, others opted to explore the picturesque gardens surrounding the 16th-century House with its enchanting Gatehouse Tower. The serene ambiance, provided by the lush shady trees and the elegant Orangery, offered a tranquil retreat for all participants.

Our Sheerness community had a wonderful morning at Infinity Age UK Sheppey today as part of our ongoing partnership.
At the Social and Activity Centre, Nicky, the team, along with our dedicated volunteers Hina and Barry, organized our monthly Coffee Morning event. A fun picture quiz on British desserts had everyone engaged, followed by an exciting raffle. Members enjoyed the tasty treats and stayed back for a delightful lunch.
This collaboration aims to strengthen bonds and provide enriching experiences for everyone involved. We are grateful for the opportunity to come together, share laughs, and create lasting memories in a warm and welcoming environment.

Today, a group of our lovely members had a wonderful day out at Aylesford Priory, thanks to our friends at Infinity Age UK Sheppey. We basked in the continuing sunshine while taking a leisurely stroll around the gardens and grounds. We indulged in a cup of tea at the delightful tea room, and explored the pottery and gift shop before savouring a delicious lunch. It was a truly perfect outing that was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who joined us.

Our founder and chief executive officer, Lesley, has recently visited Hempstead House in Sittingbourne. During her time there, she was pleased to accept a generous charitable donation of £250 from The Rotary Club. These crucial funds will have a significant impact on supporting the ongoing initiatives of our Sittingbourne group. Presently, the group gathers on the second Thursday of each month at Swale CVS from 10am to midday, serving as a welcoming and friendly space for our local community. The contribution received will be allocated towards various expenses such as venue rent and refreshments, ensuring the sustainability and continuation of this vital service for our Sittingbourne members. We are immensely grateful for the community's support, which enables us to further our ongoing services and activities.

Our Friendly Fellas drop in this week included sharing for a meal together at one of the local eateries in Sheerness. They met earlier than normal at the Lighthouse Café and those that were able went for a stroll through the town, and then up onto the seal wall, where they just enjoyed taking in the sunset on a beautiful evening and the sound of the sea. Then 11 guys were able to take part in enjoying a couple of hours chat over a nice meal. A great night was had by all.

Our thanks go out to Fiona, the Community Skills and Learning leader, from Kent Adult Education Service. This week some of our members came together, and met up at the Rushenden Wellbeing Hub to take part in 5 Ways to Wellbeing.
Fiona guided the participants in the benefits of good nutrition, exercise, socialising with others, learning and grounding. Everyone enjoyed taking part in the activity to reflect on what they'd learned, and finished with a short session of meditation. The perfect end to a calm and relaxing afternoon, spent with friends.

We popped into Spoilt For Choice on the High Street in Sheerness this week, to meet the lovely Paula and Rita. If you haven't already discovered it, this independent Artisan and Crafters shop sells some truly amazing handmade products. As part of their giving back to the community, we were so pleased to be named as their chosen charity. The money raised through their Christmas Raffle will allow us to offer extra activities and services, which our members really appreciate. Thank you ladies and good luck with the shop going forward into 2025
