Join us this Friday at The Place to Be Café for a gentle Tai Chi experience.

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese practice known for its slow, flowing movements that can help improve balance, flexibility, relaxation and overall wellbeing, making it particularly beneficial for older adults.

Alongside Tai Chi, enjoy our usual mix of:

🍰 Wonderful homemade cakes
☕ Refreshments
💬 Friendly conversation
😊 Good company and laughter

We look forward to welcoming those with dementia, their carers and the young at heart.

A little afternoon pampering at Place to Be Café!

A huge thank you to Vincent, who kindly volunteered to give our guests and volunteers mini manicures. He engaged so warmly with everyone — and our guests have already asked him to come back when he returns from university in the winter! 🥰❤️

We’d also like to give a special mention to the family business Vans Nails in Coulsdon, who continue to support and inspire local pampering moments like this in our community. 💖

We’re now closed for two weeks and will return on Friday 4 September. We look forward to seeing everyone then! ☕️🌸

The Royal Yorkshire Regimental Band delighted a packed church this evening. Everyone enjoyed a wide variety of music from classics to musicals and from Disney to new compositions. Truly a wonderful evening of music together with a short interval and a bar made it a perfect event … and free.

Thank you to all who took the time to organise it.
