Caring Together are delighted to have taken part in the Remembrance exhibition at Abbey House Museum. This new display, co-curated with the University of Leeds, reflects on how commemoration has changed since the Victorian era, and features contributions from people living in Leeds today. The display shows the different ways in which people choose to remember, whether via objects, stories and locations and will be running all of the year through until December.

Caring Together held a National Stroke Awareness Month session at the Little London Community Centre last week. A volunteer from the Stroke Association was on hand to take peoples blood pressure, and the group posed questions and shared stories from personal experience. This was very well attended by people in the local community.

A number of Caring Together members recently took advantage of the offer from Yorkshire County Cricket Club to attend a county championship game for free. It was a warn and pleasant day, perfect for Cricket, and everybody had a great time. Many thanks to Yorkshire Cricket for this. If anyone is interested in attending matches in future for which these offers are available, contact Caring Together and we will pass on the details.
