Ventnor Town Council and St Catherine’s Church will be holding a new ‘Really Useful Thursday’ event this Thursday (September 5) in the church between 10.30am-1.30pm.
The event (formerly called ‘Our Place’) brings together groups from the local voluntary and community sector with Island-wide agencies.
Organisations invited include our local PCSO, Age UK, Citizen’s Advice, Health Watch, Living Well & Early Help, Ventnor Well-being Café, Sight for Wight, Diabetes IOW, Footprint Trust, Green IOW, and Baby Box Isle of Wight.
The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Ventnor will also be available for a drop-in Surgery between 12.30pm-1.30pm. This is a chance to discover more about the town council with an informal chat.
There will be free tea, coffee and cake and the opportunity to talk to representatives of these organisations to access support or have an informal chat. It’s a chance to meet with groups and agencies that don’t have a permanent base in Ventnor.
The event also includes the regular weekly free lunch – Thursday Kitchen. A group of volunteers have come together to offer a free lunch every Thursday as a part of the Town Council’s Warm Spaces scheme. The next dates are October 3, November 7 and December 5.
