New cafe launched for older people
OLDER people in the Weston area will have the opportunity to get together on a weekly basis thanks to a new initiative.
The Community Connect Caf� will be open at Emmanuel Church in Oxford Street every Monday between 10am and 12noon from June 13.
Organisations including Age UK Somerset, Liberata, the Centre for the Deaf and Avon and Fire Rescue Service.
People will be able to get advice, as well as tea and biscuits, for a nominal charge.
The morning will also feature a demonstration of country dancing by Walliscote Primary School pupils.
The caf� has been developed via a joint initiative between Emmanuel Church, Age UK Somerset and North Somerset Council.
