Update from Helen on Community Cafes in 2024

The community cafes will continue to run throughout 2024, please do not hesitate to contact me, if you want any more information, on   events@radstockmuseum.co.uk

History club will continue to have speakers, and hopefully a festive get together in December with a few nice treats.

Memory club recently had a collaboration with the singing charity Golden Oldies which was great fun and enjoyed by all.

At Wellbeing café for carers members are starting to know each other better and it has a lovely relaxed and social vibe.

I am very much enjoying my position of community manager and once again would like to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to all the amazing volunteers and the members who attend the groups making it all possible.
