1st – 7th June is volunteers week. A time to recognise and celebrate the massive contribution volunteers make to organisations like Caring Together. By coincidence it’s also the week we are sending out our newsletter so our office is a hive of industry this afternoon with volunteers busy putting the newsletter and lots of inserts… Continue reading Volunteers Week – Post One!

Caring Together popped long to the Connect and Create session at the Tetley yesterday. Usually there is a theme with artists facilitating the sessions. This week it was an open session with some people opting to create while others discussed all and everything artistic. There was a good turnout and the room was full. Really enjoyable.

Caring Together were out once again for food today (we must stop doing this!) and once again our destination was Yeadon. This time the sun made a welcome appearance. This isn’t totally necessary for a good time but as they say, it helps.

Many thanks to… Continue reading ‘Look after them lungs’

The Wednesday Group went to Hawthorne Farm for a bite to eat two days ago. As usual, the atmosphere was good and a great afternoon was had. The weather wasn’t good enough for us to sit outside and watch the planes over a post meal cup of coffee but this did not dampen anyone’s spirits.

Caring Together had a trip to Morley Town Hall on Tuesday to attend a Tea Dance. It was a really enjoyable afternoon. Would anyone like for something similar to be organised in Woodhouse, Little London or the City Centre? If so, let us know, and watch this space!
