30 YEARS OF CARING TOGETHER

Thank you to everyone who came to our Pot Luck Lunch to celebrate Caring Together’s 30 years.

We all had a great time and we certainly were not short of food!!

There was a trip down memory lane over the years that Caring Together has been around, a chance to test your knowledge in our 1995 quiz and, of course a rousing rendition of happy birthday before everyone went home with cake

A walk on the wild (ish) side

2016-06-21 16.55.52Lisa, Valerie and some of Caring Together’s members went on a Tree ID walk this week organised by Oblong and Leeds Coppice Workers.

 

It was a really enjoyable end to the afternoon to stroll in the sunshine and to actually take a look at the trees and nature that are on our doorstep and that we often just don’t notice.

 

Many thanks to Dave from Leeds Coppice Workers for an interesting an informative walk.  The next plan is to maybe have a similar walk looking at edible plants.

We will let you know when we have more information about this
