Tea Table Dilemma ☕🍰
Two friends arrive at the same time… and there’s only one slice of the very best cake left on the table.

What happens next?

🤩 Just for fun 🤩
If a large sum of money landed in your account tomorrow, what would you do with it — and why? 🏝️🛳️🚘💍🛩️
No right or wrong answers, just a bit of fun to think about together. 💴

☕💛 Looking Out for One Another 💛☕

Loneliness doesn’t always look like sitting alone.
Sometimes it’s the quiet neighbour.
The widower who no longer drives.
The mum who never seems to get a minute to herself.

We can’t fix everything, but small things make a real difference:

💛 Knock on a door and check in
💛 Invite someone for a cuppa
💛 Offer a lift
💛 Sit and properly listen
💛 Remember birthdays
💛 Smile and say hello
💛Offer to pick up some shopping for a neighbour without a car

Community isn’t built by organisations alone. It’s built by ordinary people doing small, thoughtful things consistently.

Let’s all play our part in making life a little lighter for someone who might be feeling alone.

If each of us reached out to just one person, imagine the ripple effect. 💛

URGENT NOTICE!

☕️🌼 A Few Updates to Help Good Companions Run Smoothly 🌼☕️

As many of you will have noticed, Good Companions has been growing steadily and our sessions are becoming busier each week with a regular stream of new members .
Last Wednesday, we welcomed around 100 people, including our wonderful volunteers 💛

To help us manage this and keep everything enjoyable for everyone, we’re introducing a couple of small changes:

☕ Bringing Your Own Cups
We kindly ask if members could bring their own cup along to the club. This can be a normal cup or a disposable one, whichever is easiest for you.
(Some of our members already do this, which is a great help — thank you! 💛)

At the end of the session, any leftover drinks can be emptied into a bucket by the door. Please note our kitchen volunteers won’t be able to rinse or wash personal cups.

📝 New Member Process
It was lovely to see six new members who attended this week.
However, this does mean we are now edging close to full capacity, so sadly we need to introduce a new process.

New members will be welcomed/invited to attend one initial session to see if the club is right for them, at this point they will be invited to complete a membership request form.
Once the fully completed form has been received, the new members will be notified when a place becomes available and invited to become a regular member. 💛

‼️Any urgent referrals will, of course, be given priority.‼️

🔄 Regular Attendance
To make things fair for everyone, we may ask those who don’t attend regularly (unless due to health reasons) to rejoin the waiting list, so others have the opportunity to attend.

These changes are simply to help reduce the pressure on our volunteers and ensure we can continue to provide a warm, happy, and welcoming place for all 🌈

We truly appreciate your understanding and support 💛
Thank you 🙏🏻

Big hugs,
Karen and the team x
