The Village Hall will be operating a ‘warm hub’ from the beginning of December to the end of March. This will provide an opportunity for tea, coffee and cake, and chat with village friends in the lounge area.

Our first meeting is at the village hall on Monday 5th December from 1:00 to 3:00pm. There will be mulled wine and warm mince pies and the opportunity to hear from Alvynne Curley from Act on Energy who can provide helpful advice on the use of energy and can help with communication with your suppliers. It's free of charge but if you would like to make a small contribution to the cost, it would be welcome.

At the next meeting on 12th December we will have representatives of the Stour Health and Wellbeing Partnership (SHWP) to explain what they are about and how they can help villagers. They have been in existence for just one year and have already delivered over 200 health and wellbeing sessions, opened the Shipston Warm Hub and created strong links with numerous health and wellbeing agencies including the NHS, local authorities and voluntary bodies working in this sector. It promises to be another interesting and useful discussion.
