Do you like our collection of umbrellas?! As you can see many of our regulars braved the rain spent a lovely afternoon together.

We finished our jigsaw, varnished our coasters and had some games of scrabble. Most importantly, we cheered each other up and took our minds of the gloomy weather!

This week we made some mosaic coasters. We’ll grout them at home before finishing them off at our next session.

We also started making plans to send some little bears to Ukraine in time for Christmas, under the watchful eye of support dog Rufus.

We made good progress with our jigsaw, but forgot to take a picture!

This week we made some flower cards. We also continued with our jigsaw and, of course, played some games of Rummikub.
Support dog Rufus jones us after a few weeks away, so some of us had a few cuddles with him.

We had more visitors this week. 😃

Our local councillors popped in again to get to know us, see what we do and find out how they can help us. They are very keen to get to know the community and its needs so do get in touch with them if you have a question or concern.

We also had a visit from a lovely hearing assistance dog in training. She used to visit a lot, but has moved on to the next phase of her training so we haven’t seen her for a while. She’s back for a while on holiday, so we got to say hello and see how much she’s progressed.

We made some progress with our jigsaw, did some craft and had some games of Rummikub.

This week we were able to have a good catch up with people who’d been busy over the summer and had cake to celebrate a birthday.

We also had a lot of visitors this week. Our local councillors popped in to introduce themselves.

Support dog Rufus brought along his friend Millie. She was rescued from a horrible situation and is needs to learn how to be around people. We were happy to help!

We started a new jigsaw and our Rummikub players certainly sounded like they were having a lot of fun!!

We had a lovely, relaxing trip along the River Wey today with Swingbridge Community Boats.

The river was teaming with wildlife. We saw dragonflies, butterflies, ducks, geese, moorhens (and chicks) and a swan. There were also plenty of gulls and red kites to be seen.

There were lots of other folk enjoying the river in the sunshine. We passed a flotilla of kayakers, a couple of canoeists and a gaggle of paddle boarders.

Many thanks to our crew Tony, Barry, Gary and Lee. 😀🫶

This week we used our acrylic pens to paint some bookmarks. We also started a new jigsaw.

One of our knitters made good progress on their blanket (which is looking wonderfully colourful) while they tested a range of green teas!

This is Jeanette. She runs the Muddy Boots walking group, based at QE Park Baptist Church, Guildford. She was also one of our volunteer hosts at Renew for several years.

In September she’ll be undertaking a marathon length ‘Walk For A Cure’ to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK.

Jeanette is a wonderfully kind and generous person, who spends most of her time helping others, so we are very pleased to have an opportunity to support her for a change!

If you’d like to support her too, you can follow the link to her fundraising page to sponsor her.

Best of luck Jeanette! 🫶

It was rather hot today so we did our best to keep cool! Fans on full and lots of water. 🥵😎

We finished our latest jigsaw and used our acrylic pens to paint various things.

We also played Rumikub and had a few games of Triominoes- an old favourite we haven’t played for a while.

We are so excited to be celebrating our 30th Anniversary as a congregation this coming Sunday, 12th July. We'd love you to join us. Please email [email protected] by Thursday 9th July for catering purposes.
