On Thursday 5th September from 10.30am to 1.30pm, Ventnor Town Council and St Catherine’s Church will be holding our monthly ‘Really Useful Thursday’ session at St Catherine’s Church in Ventnor.
The event (formerly called ‘Our Place’) brings together groups from the local voluntary and community sector with Island-wide agencies.
Organisations invited include our local PCSO, Age UK, Citizen’s Advice, Health Watch, Living Well and Early Help, Ventnor Well-being Café, Sight for Wight, Diabetes IOW, Footprint Trust, Green IOW, and Baby Box Isle of Wight.
Mayor’s surgery
The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Ventnor will also be available for a drop-in Surgery from 12.30pm-1.30pm. This is a chance to discover more about the town council with an informal chat.
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 Kitchen – free lunch
The event also includes our regular weekly free lunch – Thursday Kitchen. 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.
Free coffee and cake
St Catherine’s Church is also open, for coffee tea and cake, every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 10.30am to 12.30pm, it is free, and donations are appreciated.
Many thanks to everyone at St Catherine’s Church for supporting and hosting the event.
