    Our parents group is now up and running in Datchet. Meeting weekly, our little community is growing and we have new parents joining regularly. Tea, coffee, biscuits and a sympathetic ear are a good starting point, but we are looking at providing additional support through guests speakers such as GPs, dentists, dieticians and more.

    Our Lunch Club members enjoying their afternoon cream tea for the King's Coronation. We held the cream tea on a Friday, as well as our regular lunch club on a Thursday, meaning our members had another social outing that week. The Club helps to prevent loneliness and build friendships between the elderly members of our local community.

    “Great course, I have looked forward to attending each week.”

    “I really enjoyed taking part and it's nice to meet new people. I would highly recommend to other people to do the course.”
