Volunteers @ Pennystone Court

This is an appeal for active volunteers to assist at Pennystone Court, Methodist Care Home for one-half day a week to provide

an activity to stimulate residents. At present a very proactive Chaplain provides services, counselling and hymn singing on Mondays and Fridays. Dorothy Hills assists him and enjoys giving out hymn books and helping residents find the right number. However, on the other five days very little actually happens, and it would enhance the lives of residents if volunteers could be found. If you are interested please contact the activities coordinator on Jaide.FosterHowarth@mha.org.uk, or contact Ray Hills on byershills@icloud.com for further details.

Coffee Plus

Our Coffee Shop is open each weekday from 9.30 a.m. to 1.30 pm. We are welcoming more customers.

Serving those customers is dependent on the hard work of our team of Volunteers. We have vacancies for volunteer servers and volunteer dishwashers.

The period of duty on a shift is generally two hours. Could you come to join our dedicated team of friendly volunteers? If so, please contact Jonathan Fail

If you have anything you wish to be included in future Newsletters please let Alan Banes know
