The sunshine abandoned us today just as we set off on our assisted outing to the Roundhay Fox but we didn’t let that deter us.
A long lunch was the order of the day as we decided that maybe it wasn’t the best day to walk round the gardens. And we were already making plans for our next outing
A big thank you to the volunteers who helped today
The Tuesday Group and Mid-Weekers Group recently visited Oulton Hall seperately for afternoon tea. A brilliant day was had by all and many of those in the groups had a stroll around the grounds afterwards.
After an absence of many years the Little London Community Day was resurrected last weekend. Organised over a short time period with many local organisations and individuals involved, the day was a resounding success. Caring Together was involved from the beginning and on the day hosted a cake stall. Many thanks to those Caring Together members and supporters who baked cakes and buns for the day and also to Waitrose and Tesco’s who donated cakes for the day. Pictured are David, Shirley, Valerie and John who looked after the stall on the day.

Once again Caring Together have had a stall at the Unity Day in Hyde Park. The weather was kind to us and and the sun shone all day. This year, in addition to a tombola, we had a ‘grab a bag’ stall. Both of these were enormous successes. A big thanks to all of our volunteers who worked on the stalls.
Las week a group of our members went on a day-trip to Knaresborough and a great time was had by all. See Mary and Marilyn taking the opportunity of a welcome beak by the river for a photo opp.
