Melbourn Timebank

Our amazing kitchen staff prepared scones, cream and jam and lots of pots of tea. I speak from experience when I say they were truly delicious.

The flower arranging session was very busy. This was hosted by the Tesco Community Champion. Tenants, Day Centre clients and staff gained skills which will help when receiving bouquets in the future. There were some beautiful creations produced and I know all those that took part thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

In the Spring we received a huge box of chocolates which were donated by John Lewis. We decided these would be ideal as an Easter treat and so some of the Day Centre Clients sat and bagged up them up as little gifts.

These types of donations are always gratefully received and they added a little bit of fun to the Easter table. Who wouldn’t like to receive a bag of delicious chocolates?

If you or a family member are looking for support with care needs, we may be able to help. Our services range from Meals on Wheels, cleaning, personal care and even a sitting service. At Moorlands Court itself properties occasionally become available for assisted living. We will be more than happy to talk over your needs in more detail, so please give us a call and we can discuss what services we might be able to help with, either in the community or at Moorlands Court. Please call 01763 260564 or alternatively e-mail: Denise.taylor@chsgroup.org.uk Carol Bailey

Melbourn Timebank members have recently given freely of their time to give lifts, walk dogs, collect prescriptions, support neighbours, and assist in a Dementia support group.

All to help bring our community more together in a positive way.
