We are having our first fundraising event on March 19th, 6.30pm - 8.30pm. Our aim is to connect to people who support charities and might be interested in our work. After an arrival drink, we will host an auction of exciting items that relate to our work and who we are, including a best man’s speech or a eulogy; a meal in a restaurant with poetry readings between courses; a Living Words session for someone living with a dementia; and more. In addition, we’ll share more about our work, hear some of the powerful words of participants from recent nursing home projects, and a song that was featured at Queen Elizabeth Hall, South Bank. We will announce more about the auction and programme of events closer to the day... Contact us for more information or if you would like to attend info@livingwords.org.uk / charlotte@livingwords.org.uk The owners of The Pullman, Folkestone have kindly donated the use of their newly decorated upstairs function room for the event. 3

To commission a painting by talented Sandgate residing artist Malcolm Ritchie costs less than you think and provides a valued, timeless and unique gift. Malcolm has been painting and drawing for most of his life and works in all mediums and subjects. My subjects, he says, inspire me. You're just a click away from looking at some more of his work and arranging an informal chat about what's on your mind.
You'll find me here #MalcolmRitchie

The frustrating thing I find with diaries and notebooks is that I either don't have a pen or the pen I stick inside the book eventually breaks its spine but not anymore. The Bobino slim pen solves this problem, sitting comfortably either as a page marker or in the specially provided holder. I have pestered Clive and Helen at Artwrite for ages to stock them and now they do. Only ÂŁ5.99 they don't take refills but they last for years.

If you have an event you wish to publicise it is needed by Tuesday at 17:00. The information should appear in the edition two weeks later although it is not gauranteed.
