Events and Activities
We are all trying to help prevent the spread of Covid19 so our activities and events will be on hold for a while.
Due to Covid19 our activities and events will be suspended for the time being.
You can still join our Networks through 'Join Us' - and we will connect by way of email. That way we can add you to the mailing list, so we can keep you updated when activities will start again.
In the meantime, take good care, avoid close contact with others, especially with the elderly, wash your hands well and often and be kind to yourself and others.
