Happy Friday and bank holiday weekend everyone!
There’s a number of events going on over the bank holiday weekend for you to get involved in but first we want to cover a couple of things. Firstly we were saddened to see that the local play park on Lyveden Way was vandalised last week – however a very warming story has emerged from it as volunteers Helen and her partner Allan, cleaned up most of the graffiti themselves. Thank you so much to them for showing the community spirit of Oakley Vale!
In other news, those of us that have been unfortunate enough to have experience loss will understand the importance of having the right support around you; and having someone to talk to you. In an effort to support those suffering loss, Lakeland Hopsice has begun offering a bereavement service.
The group is open to those bereaved in the Corby and surrounding areas (adults only) and meetings will be on Wednesdays, in the afternoon one week and the evening the following week (alternate weeks thereafter):
Afternoon meetings 1.00pm – 3.00pm
Evening meetings 6.00pm – 8.00pm
The first group meeting will be on Wednesday 6th September at 1.00pm at the Hospice. To let them know that you wish to join, please contact the hospice on 01536 747755 and ask to speak to Tracy or Lynn.
