There is no doubt that the care and attention paid when preparing and decorating the rooms, our ‘Meeter and Greeter’ Miriam offering a warm welcome, setting up an information point, providing quality food and drinks and ensuring each attendee is made to feel special is appreciated.  
Various organisations will join us to share information about their Health and Wellbeing services plus future dates:
It’s Volunteers Week 24 and we’d like to join in with a huge THANK you to our volunteers.
26 guests joined 'Tilling, Tea and Cake' for another fun, enjoyable and informative Saturday Social. (A total of 208 people have attended our Saturday Social in the 7 months since we launched last Nov 2023)
Time for something that will hopefully brighten your day – an update on our progress in setting up the FAiR befriending service, from our new-in-post Community Volunteer Training Coordinator, Kathy Crowther
Its the unexpected donations that surprise us. Sometimes, conversations we had months ago stay with potential donors and this was our experience earlier this week. 
We thoroughly enjoy the services we are developing at FAiR. Receiving Testimonials are humbling but gratefully received:
Over our last 5 events, 147 people have joined us. Come along and enjoy our company whilst receiving advice on daily Health & Wellbeing challenges.
Funding and Donations are the life blood of a charity  to ensure the organisation can finance short and long term requirements. This takes dedication from staff making multiple funding applications, volunteers and trustees - the unsung heroes of any charity, readily giving their time for free. 
Last Saturday - March 23rd - 55 guests from our local community attended our Murder Mystery Lunch at The Mermaid Inn Rye, were greeted by our favorite 'Meeter and Greeter' - Miriam.
A testimonial from one guests:  'I really enjoyed myself today at the meeting. Both you and Miriam are so welcoming and It shows just how much effort you both put in, to make it so helpful, exciting, inspiring and a pleasure to attend, so thank you to both of you.' C.J.
