Congleton Senior Health & Well-being Fayre will take place on Friday 29th September at Congleton Town Hall, all welcome form 10am until 1pm. Below is a copy of the poster for the event.
The Senior Forum meeting took place recently, download the full meeting minutes HERE.
Highlights include:
Tesco Community Work.
Wendy Cotterill took us through some of the support and ideas she had to develop closer links between Tesco and the community. Community involvement is one of Tesco’s Big 6 corner stones of their operation along with Customer Service, Food Wastage etc. The store has 180 colleagues all whom have various skills and expertise that they can take outside of work. Tesco Congleton currently work with New Life Church on their Foodbank and Job Club projects and are looking to spread out across a wider area involving more community organisations and events. Wendy works primarily in and around Congleton and will let Mike have a list of the community champions in the stores around ( Macclesfield, Kidsgrove etc) She has the ability to book bag pack activity given a few weeks notice. There is a notice board within the store that we can make use of. Wendy is looking to make contact with P.Pinto re developing the now empty garden at the front of the store. MS let Patti know. Men in sheds could be asked to produce planters (Victoria) Tesco could well have some involvement with our planned Senior Health Fayre and will discuss this with Victoria.
Next Meeting:- Wednesday 18th May 2016, Congleton Town Hall, 3.00pm
