On Thursday 24th August from 10.30am to 1.30pm, Ventnor Town Council and partner agencies will be resuming our monthly ‘Our Place’ session at St. Catherine’s Church after a short summer break for Ventnor Fringe.
The event brings together groups from the local voluntary and community sector with Island-wide agencies. Organisations invited include our local PCSO, Citizen’s Advice, People Matter, Living Well and Early Help, Veteran’s Outreach Support, Barnardo’s, Ventnor Community Shed, John’s Club, Ventnor Well-being Cafe, Sight for Wight, and Baby Box Isle of Wight.
Upcoming dates
The event takes place on the fourth Thursday of every month and the next dates are 28th September, 23rd November and 21st December.
Many thanks to the congregation and Church Wardens at St Catherine’s Church for supporting and hosting the event.
What to expect
There will be free tea, coffee and cake and the opportunity to talk to representatives of these organisations to access support or have an informal chat. It’s a chance to meet with groups and agencies that don’t have a permanent base in Ventnor.
Thursday lunch club
The event also includes our regular weekly Thursday lunch club from 12.00 noon – a group of volunteers have come together to offer a free lunch every Thursday as a part of the Town Council’s Warm Spaces scheme.
This has been running every week since January 2023
