Date for your diary's.

Loneliness week is approaching. It's a week whereby we recognise that many of us are experiencing loneliness.

We will be hosting a coffee and cake morning on the Wednesday. This will be a calm and welcoming space with people on hand to welcome you and initiate conversation.

On the Thursday we will be facilitating a walk around Newport. This has been mapped out to 2.6 miles, is mostly paved terrain and accessible for buggies. There will be facilitators on hand to make you feel at ease, welcomed and engaged in conversation.

TODAY. If you are looking for something to keep the children occupied or simply need to take a break from the sun, head down to the Salvation Army Church, 72 Pyle Street Newport for an afternoon for free crafts/games and dinner.

A wonderful restock of our hygiene bank thanks to a wonderful birthday initiative whereby if people insisted on gifts they were to bring an item for the hygiene bank instead. This will go an incredibly long way and make a big difference to those living within our community experiencing hygiene poverty.
