Thanks to funding from the Kent Police Property Fund, we’ve secured our monthly arts and crafts cafe for the next 12 months.
It takes place on the fourth Thursday in the month from 1.30-3.30pm, and the additional funding will allow us to buy more specific craft materials to work with.
Just £2 per person includes refreshments. You can bring along your own project to work on, anything from crochet to painting, or you can use from our stock. And if you just want to drop in for a cuppa, that’s absolutely fine too!
We look forward to seeing you 🙂
We’re delighted to host Medway Adult Education on Monday, July 23, as part of the Medway Create project.
It will take place during our open coffee morning, between 10am-12noon and all are welcome to join in. To ensure your place, you can book in directly – see the details below.
We’ve been awarded the sum of £1247 by Involving Medway, via the Kent Community Foundation, to continue our Chairobics session on Monday afternoons.
This activity is funded by Involving Medway, an initiative run by Medway Clinical Commissioning Group, designed to encourage people to get involved with and help make decisions about health provision in the area. It aims to help residents lead healthier, happier lives through improved participation in community groups and activities.
Having been instigating new activities to the Hub since her appointment last year, manager Jaye says:
“Chairobics is a seated exercise session we introduced to help people maintain a certain level of movement, without it being too strenuous or too difficult for those with mobility issues. Add to that the social factor and it’s of double benefit to our local community. We’re very grateful for the support of Involving Medway in allowing us to keep this activity running for another year.” The session runs between 1.30 and 3pm.
This funding isn’t the only good news at the hub recently – the Rotary Club of Medway has also awarded us a £250 grant towards practical improvements at the space, located in Silverweed Road shops, and we’ve also partnered with Medway Time Credits, a voucher based reward system for volunteers.
Medway Time Credits are a ‘thank you’ for getting involved in your local community and giving your time in a voluntary way to help others. You can earn Time Credits for all kinds of activities, such as helping run our open cafe or assisting with the activities we organise. You might even have an idea of an activity you can run yourself, with which we can help you. Time Credits can then be spent with many different organisations, including trips to London.
Get in touch on 01634 319633 or email community@waldersladehub if you’d like to chat with Jaye about the volunteering opportunities, or to find out more about booking the space for activities.
We’re delighted to invite you to a Cupcake Day for Alzheimer’s at the Hub on Thursday, June 14.
It will run from 1-4pm and all profits will go to the charity. If you’d like to donate cakes, please just bring them along on the day. Alternatively, just donate cash in exchange for the lovely cakes we know will be on offer, and settle down for a chat over a plateful and a cuppa while we raise money for this fantastic cause.
No need to book, just turn up! We look forward to seeing you 🙂
During the final hour, from 3.15pm, we will be hosting a free Dementia Friends session – just email us to book in at community@waldersladehub.org.
We’re delighted to be welcoming John Portman of the Alzheimer’s Association to the hub on Thursday, June 14 for a Dementia Friends session.
This is not a training session for carers but an awareness raising chat for those (shopkeepers, other shoppers, for example) who may come into contact with someone living with one of the conditions, and how to spot the signs and allow for them (i.e. not being impatient in a queue, for example).
Perception can be an issue for people with dementia, so this informal chat highlights a few areas where patience and understanding is all that’s required by others to support those living with the condition when out and about.
The session will start at 3.15pm and run for around 45 minutes. All are welcome, but we would be grateful if you could advise your attendance to Jaye at community@waldersladehub.org so we can set up in advance.
The session will take place in the final hour of our Cupcake Day for Alzheimer’s.
PLEASE NOTE, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
