CAREbank News June 2021

UPDATE ON OUR COMMUNITY HUB

As we can now meet up in groups of up to six, we invite you to a sneak preview of the unfolding transformation of our inter-village Community Hub space at Little Hadham village Hall.   Think of it as a new one stop 'shop' window for entertainment, advice and wellness support.

Why not  book a 'cuppa & cake' spot during June or come along just to see what is going on at your new Hub in advance of society  opening up again without social distancing measures.

We will be organising a proper launch event later in the year which you are all welcome to attend as local residents and patients of MH Health Centre. 

Our Hub is a safe and friendly place to connect in to,  both face to face and online . There will be a Freephone on site which you can walk in to "triage" yourself to all the useful helpline numbers provided in this magazine during the pandemic.

You will always be assisted by volunteers from all our villages working together.  So make a start with a cafe booking, a digital learning session such as the one detailed on the opposite page or an appointment with our new rural outreach Citizen Advice team.

Please get in touch with Claire on 07595 674241 or Jan on 07710 325363.
