Our Next Open Meeting – Tues 25 April

Our next Open Meeting will be on Tuesday 25th April 2023. We’d love you to join us for this friendly, sociable get together which is free to attend, includes a free buffet lunch and where you can also claim your travel expenses!

We’ll begin by enjoying a relaxed buffet lunch with you, before moving on to our familiar questions and answers sessions and presentations.

We will have a presentation about the Telecare Community Alarm System, which helps keep people safe at home, allowing them to summon help, if needed. We will also be having a quick look at voter I.D. ahead of the May elections, with a focus on the types of documents that can be used to confirm your identity at the polls.

As usual, we will make time to chat as a group and to meet you all one-to-one, so you can share any private issues you might want to discuss with us. You are welcome to come along just for the lunch and a chat, or to stay on for the main meeting afterwards. We also welcome anyone who just wants to come for the meal and a chat!
