We were contacted by Sam, founder of Fitmums & Friends, asking if we would be able to help with providing transport for 3 children to their new programme, Together in Grief - The Forest Project.

We are working together with Kirsty Flint, from the Regional Driving Assessment Centre, RDAC, to help people stay mobile and retain as much independence as possible as and when they are no longer able to drive their own car.

An Autumn Fair held on 23rd October at Toll Gavel Church Beverley- our first in over two years - heralded a welcome sense of normality returning. The event was well attended with some of our service users  from Stamford Bridge joining us on the day. Stalls included cakes, crafts, raffle & tombola and just over £216 was raised . Thanks go to all who helped.

Beverley residents were treated to an afternoon of entertainment as part of  Older People Celebration week. Run by Older Peoples Partnership Hull and East Riding, the four day event took  place in Cottingham, Hessle and Hull was much enjoyed by all who attended.

BCL is delighted to have received a further community grant from  "Do it for East Yorkshire". The grant is supporting our social outings program in Holme on Spalding Moor where we run twice monthly trips to a variety of destinations. These outings are helping our service users combat loneliness and regain their independence post Lockdown. If you live in the area and are interested in getting out and about, meeting people and making new friends then why not give them a try.

Residents of Beverley enjoyed a recent day out at Bransby Horses - one of the UK's largest equine welfare charities; dedicated to rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming and providing a safe haven - as part of our social outings program supported by Two Ridings Foundation. Our outings run throughout the year and we follow all Covid guidance. There are still a few places available so if you are interested in getting out and about, meeting people and making new friends then why not give them a try. Joining an outing is easy, just  contact our office on 01482 868082 for more details.
