This morning, with the help of Liz from TCV, some of service users were learning new skills, using electric screwdrivers and drills, to build lovely bird boxes. Next week we will hopefully finish them and then have them sited.

Today we had our fourth 'Come Dine With Us' event and once again all the hard work appears to have paid off. Our guests gave us some lovely feedback and even a nice tip! Well done to everyone involved (Billy, Brian, Matthew, Andrew & Siobhan as well as staff members Kenny & Juan) who all did an amazing job.

This afternoon we said goodbye and good luck to Sylvia, who leaves us today to start her maternity leave. We all had some fun trying to determine the taste of different baby foods, changing nappies and making a guess at what the baby's weight will be. We all wish Sylvia all the very best!!

This morning, with the help of Liz from TCV and while others were in the kitchen doing their trial run for 'come dine with us', the rest were working hard putting our new barrels in place at the side entrance and in front of the library. Even before we finished the job, compliments were flying from people using the Community Centre! Thanks also to Volunteering Matters Action Earth for their grant, otherwise we wouldn't be able to have done this.
