We are launching The Heather Club at Home!
We have launched our outreach programme with doorstep visits to our members delivering Advent Calendars and having a chat! Thank you to our funders The National Lottery and The Shanly Foundation for making it easier to spread a little cheer and stay connected.
The club received some lovely comments from members following the delivery of 22 Advent Calendars.
'Thank you so much' was the general response at the front doors
One member B'' got her partner to phone to say thank you, she is so grateful and excited at receiving the calendar
The daughter of a member 'A' said she loves the calendar and "I think mum has a chocolate for breakfast"
'J' another said "What a nice thought"
Another 'J' said "Ohh that is so nice"
The Heather Club at Home
Our new outreach programme to keep in contact with our members whilst we are not able to open our day centre.

We are delighted to announce we have been awarded funding both from The National Lottery and the Shanly Foundation to help us provide our outreach programme to help us keep our members connected and stimulated over the winter months.
