A Busy Month at the Centre!

February has been full of activity, with plenty of changes (version 7 of the calendar was hand-altered to avoid version 8!). Alongside finishing the Leslie Godfrey Lounge, we tackled many odd jobs and general maintenance to keep the Centre running smoothly.

The weather was typically cold, though we saw a sudden warm spell around 21st February, hopefully the first signs of spring and some relief on heating costs!

A Chilly Start to the Year!

January came in freezing as heavy snow on the 5th turned roads into ice rinks and pavements into obstacle courses! ❄️ While some sessions went ahead, numbers were down as people sensibly stayed indoors with a cuppa. Hopefully, February will bring better weather and busier sessions!

Welcoming a New Face!

A one off session is being run at the Centre for Grief Awareness.  Please note that in order to attend this session you need to be registered with either Brig Royd or Station Road surgery.  Refreshments are available throughout the session.

Tai Chi free trial sessions coming to Foundry Street. 45 minute sessions in order for you to try. Come down and have a go at one or both of the sessions and see what you think

Kate Dearden held a Cost of Living event at Foundry Street on Friday 25th October 2024.  This was by appointment only, but Kate and her team still saw numerous people who dropped in on the day. There were also several stands displaying services from organisations like Citizens Advice, Union Credit, etc.

The Leslie Godfrey lounge was set up with stands and displays for the many organisations taking part on the day. The Eric Talyor lounge was also in use to served refreshments and somewhere to sit and rest, or talk with others. Over 70 people visited the event over the 90 minutes it was held. All agreed it was a huge success.

Keep Active Fitness held a special event on Saturday 7th September 2024 in order to raise funds for Overgate Hospice and their Big Build project.  FSCC offered the use of the building free of charge for this good cause, which allowed the hall, both lounges and the kitchen to all be used. 

After decorating the Eric Taylor lounge the two existing orange leather settees just did not fit, plus they were starting to fall apart.  We managed to find a matching pair of Chesterfields that have come out of a 5 star hotel in London following a refit and are just the right colour.  The old, orange settees have found a new home with one of our user group leaders.
