COLD WEATHER, WARM SPACES
Misterton Parish Council is supporting the ‘warm spaces’ initiative, a scheme to provide somewhere warm for people to go in winter—and to publicise venues that are already open and welcoming visitors. In Misterton, they are:
- Misterton Library, open Tuesday to Thursday 2.00-5.00pm and the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month from 9.30am to 12.30pm. Free tea/coffee
- Coffee Morning at Misterton Methodist Church, Thursdays, 10.00-11.00am. Donation for tea/coffee/biscuit
- Coffee Morning, every 2nd Tuesday each month, Church Room, Church Lane. £2 donation for a hot drink and scone/biscuit; £1 to enter monthly raffle.
In West Stockwith, there are three pubs/clubs, and cafes and pubs in Misterton, too. All provide a warm environment and sell hot food and drinks.
BASSETLAW ACTION CENTRE: UPDATE
Bassetlaw Action Centre (BAC) is continuing to provide:
- community transport for essential journeys – health appointments and shopping, for example
- housing advice services, which are telephone-based primarily but face-to-face appointments are also available
- a menu of Befriending services – including group befriending, telephone befriending, face to face and peer befriending
- the Staying Well Programme (6-week self-management course for people with a long-term condition) available both virtually and face to face
- Get Out Get Active (GOGA) service encourages people to become more active and will continue to offer one-to-one support
- home support service – a domiciliary service to help people who are just starting to struggle at home (this is a paid-for service).
- minibus trips – including the newly launched lunch club trips.
BAC would like to hear from anyone with a few hours to spare, who would like to volunteer to support the Action Centre to deliver essential services to local older and vulnerable people. In particular, they are looking for more local volunteer drivers to help people to get to health appointments and for shopping. Volunteers are paid 45p per mile for every mile they drive on behalf of the scheme.
For further details on any of the above please contact BAC on 01777 709650 or by e-mail (enquiries@actioncentre.org.uk) Further information can be found on the website: www.bassetlawactioncentre.org.uk.
