If you are a member of the Co-op and live nearby, would you please consider selecting us as the charity you support for the next 6 months? You will benefit too as every time someone buys a Co-op branded item of food 5p is credited to the person’s Co-op account and 1p is donated to their chosen charity. If you need more details, or to join the Co-op please visit the store and talk to the staff there.

Volunteers needed for the Coffee Cabin
Would you be able to help out with the Coffee Cabin on a Monday morning from 9.30 am to 12 noon perhaps once a month? The purpose of the Coffee Cabin is to create a happy, friendly atmosphere for people to enjoy having a chat and getting to know others and we need more people to help serve refreshments and to introduce people to each other. If you feel you can spend time helping us, we would be very appreciative.
