Afternoon Tea at the Hub
After whetting your appetite with that scrummy picture, you’re cordially invited to an Afternoon Tea at the Hub on Thursday, October 11 between 1.30-3.30pm.
For just £2 you’ll have unlimited drinks to wash down tasty scones with jam and cream, and the chance to have a good ol’ natter with old and new friends.
Call into the space when we’re open to book and pay. (See our What’s on Page for sessions).
DIY Arts & Crafts Cafe Relaunched!
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 🙂
Create Medway at the Hub
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.
Cupcake Day for Alzheimer’s
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.
Dementia Friends Session at the Hub
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.
Calling quiz fiends!
Following the success of our first fundraising quiz night (we raised £168, yay!) we’ve decided to run a fun quiz during the day.
Not everyone finds an evening fundraiser accessible, so on the third Wednesday in the month, we’re going to have a drop in quiz for individuals.
Entrance will be just £2 per person which will include refreshments, and you can either play as an individual or form teams with others on arrival.
The first one is on Wednesday, April 18 at 12 noon. We look forward to seeing you then!
Get your brains into gear – we’re holding a Quiz Night Fundraiser
The aim is to have fun as well as raise vital funds to keep the hub open – so we’re having a Quiz Night!
All budding Masterminds are welcome to take on all the wannabe Eggheads, and there will be no Pointless answers as we enter The Chase for the top prize! #sorrynotsorry
The Quiz is on Thursday, March 1, doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Tickets are £12 per team, with a maximum of 4 people to a team (£3 each) – there are 9 tables available, so don’t delay!
There will be 5 rounds of our favourite general knowledge categories, with a break after Round 3.
You can bring your own drinks and nibbles although teas and coffees will also be available for a small donation.
Book your tickets here – and start revising!
The D.I.Y Arts & Crafts Cafe opens for business
Some of our regulars have been desperate to get arty and crafty for a while now, so we’re opening up the cafe on the 4th Thursday in the month for a skill sharing bonanza!
You can bring along your own activity (knitting, colouring books, crochet, drawing pad?) – or even your favourite book. We’ll supply materials for collage and other activities, plus each month, one of our regular customers will demonstrate their own skill, giving you the opportunity to join in too.
The first session (February 22) will see Vicki showcase cake decorations for Easter and all are welcome to work with her. Or as advised above, simply bring along your own activity to share with others, or just enjoy the company.
The session will run from 1.30-3.30pm and there will be a small fee of £2 to cover materials, but tea and coffee is included.
We look forward to seeing you.
