Talk will reveal more about dedicated work for YMCA

CAROL Plenty’s colleagues say if she was a stick of rock the initials YMCA would run all the way through it.

She is Adult Services Manager for the YMCA in Mendip and said: “The challenges ahead include the rising rents which is making it almost unaffordable for those that we help and the cost of living increases, especially utility bills.

“But as always the YMCA will rise to those challenges.”

Carol is also known as The Magpie as she will collect any items that she can give to those in need.

On Saturday, February 4, she will be talking about this and more at the Wells Men’s Breakfast in the Connect Centre, Portway, Wells, starting at 8am. Each month the Wells Men’s Breakfast offers a full English followed by a talk and a lively question time, finishing by 9.30am. To book a seat for this breakfast and talk, phone 07376 715671 and leave an ansaphone message by noon on Thursday, February 2.
