We had a fascinating talk by Dartmoor Estate Tea ☕️ at our July meeting this week. We learned how the tea plantation 🌱started right on our doorstep, and what it has grown into. How the tea is harvested and how it's best prepared and served 🫖
We are hoping to organise a group visit in the near future.

It was great to be involved in the recent Buckfastleigh Fun day, where we ran the cake stall 🍰 🐤 All fund raised went directly to OMG for the benefit of the community 🌳

No meeting in August as we are planning an outing.

Buckfastleigh WI is a great way of meeting new people, learning new things and getting involved our the community.

We’re incredibly grateful for the generous donation from Buckfastleigh WI we received today. This support will help us reach our fundraising goal to purchase a custom ramp for our Memory Café on the steam train at South Devon Railway, making it easier for everyone to come and go safely, comfortably, and with dignity.

Dementia, combined with other age-related challenges, can affect balance, coordination, and confidence, so a ramp will make a huge difference in helping people stay engaged with a community that supports their wellbeing and resilience.

Thank you again to Buckfastleigh WI!
