OCTOBER 2022 GROUP & COMMUNITY ACTIVITY CALENDAR
OCTOBER 2022
BLACK HISTORY MONTH/ADHD AWARENESS MONTH You’re welcome to turn up at Walk & Talk or a Coffee Social, but it can sometimes be helpful to just let Jeff (07393 471055) or Si (07949 879805) know you want to come. You might be new and feel nervous. A text or call first can help ease any anxieties. Some events we need to know you’re coming to as numbers are limited. Let us know – contacts are on the back. All groups will be facilitated either by Jeff , Simon, or Kieron.
