The Pub Lunch Club project tackles social isolatio

The Pub Lunch Club project tackles social isolation and loneliness among our ageing population, especially in rural areas where there are few local services and poor public transport links. It's aimed at the over 65s and especially those who may have been missing out on regular social contact.

@communityimpactbucks are working with @TheKokum to setup a new club in Little Chalfont and are looking for local volunteers to help.

If you would like further details, please get in touch with Lew Headley on 01844 617229 and at lew@communityimpactbucks.org.uk

Chiltern Cancer Support 11am Saturday 21st Januar

Chiltern Cancer Support

11am Saturday 21st January at The Elgiva

Invitation from a Metroland friend -

"Cancer is a long road, and no matter what stage of the cancer journey you are on, whether that's adapting to a recent diagnosis, undergoing treatment or at the 'all clear' stage, we could all do with talking to others who are, and who have been, on similar journeys.
No matter what level of support you have, cancer can be an incredibly lonely process; even though we may have friends and family trying to be supportive, it is impossible to truly understand what it feels like, unless you are going through it yourself.

This is why I decided to set up Chiltern Cancer Support – I feel that being able to talk to others that have been through or are going through a similar process would be really helpful, whether it's sharing our stories, having a moan or simply realising we are not alone.
The group will initially meet up once a month at The Elgiva on a Saturday at 11am (this can be flexible), and it's intended to be an informal place where we can meet up and share with each other our cancer experiences, hopefully becoming a support network for each other. Plus it's likely coffee and tea will be involved!

No pressure, no names, no pack drill – just like-minded cancer sufferers and survivors talking and taking strength from each other. If you have suffered or are suffering from cancer, please feel free to come along."
