Join us for a much loved event at New Lount Bowling Club 10 am to 12.30 pm.

The time, effort and dedication Ann puts into organising this event year after year is truly amazing. Twenty years is a wonderful milestone, and we are incredibly proud of Ann and all she does to support Bright Hope.

Thank You Thursday! 🌟

This week, we’re saying a big thank you to two organisations who are helping us make a difference in our community 💛💙

🌟Warm Welcome Spaces

We’re delighted to have received £2,000 from Warm Welcome Spaces to support our monthly Connection Café drop-in. This helps us provide a warm, welcoming space where people can enjoy refreshments, activities and the opportunity to connect with others, all free of charge during financially challenging times.

This support is hugely appreciated and helps us continue to reach people who may be experiencing social isolation or financial difficulties, offering opportunities to access emotional and physical support.

Our Fundraising Executive, Lizzie, also attended a Warm Welcome Spaces kick-off day at the Co-op headquarters in Manchester. She joined 75 other Warm Welcome Spaces to share ideas, explore opportunities and learn more about making the most of partnerships, place and power.

💛 💙Alzheimer's Society

We’d also like to thank the Alzheimer’s Society for helping us establish our Dementia Café, which meets this Monday at 1pm.

They provide a staff member at each session and share their knowledge and experience to help us understand what works best, supporting us to create a welcoming space for people living with dementia and those who support them.

We’re really grateful to both organisations for their support and for helping us make a difference in our community. Thank you! 💛💙
