Walk For Pia

 

  WALK FOR PIA

Sadly in September of 2021, Pia Eaves lost her battle with Pancreatic cancer, despite being only 54 and an ultra-fit triathlete and fitness coach. Her husband Simon, daughters Rhiannon (21) and Emilia (18) and brother-in-law Kevin, are turning her loss into something positive to help others.

In homage to her love of Gavin & Stacey – watched whilst living in Dubai, to “stay Welsh” – the family (once of Orchard Close) are walking from the home of Gavin in Billericay to Barrybados, specifically Marcos, where Pia worked as a teenager.

Arriving on May 1st, to coincide with Pia’s birthday and wedding anniversary, the family welcome support for their 200 mile walk. Their journey can be followed on www.walkforpia.co.uk, and any donations are welcomed, with thanks.

Many thanks for your consideration,

Kevin Eaves Mobile: 07966861124

Stress Buster Strollers

STRESS BUSTER STROLLERS

From July Valeways will offer a new walk: the Stress Buster Strollers. Everyone can experience stress, resulting from an array of anxieties, for ex-ample, about family, work, money, health, retire-ment, lack of sleep, bereavement. Stress can make people feel frustrated, upset, angry or nervous and can lead to people feeling lonely, cut off and isolat-ed. In order to try to ease some of these feelings, Valeways will offer a Stress Buster stroll: a safe, guided walk by the sea and through woodlands, with a friendly, sociable group where people can chat freely. It is not a professional counselling service, just the offer of some time and space in the fresh air to hopefully provide a boost in mood and energy. The NHS encourages people with its Every Mind Matters initiative to live a healthy, active life. One of their tips is to go walking, as this activity is one proven way to relieve stress and have a positive im-pact on the way an individual can feel. If you would like to enjoy a short stroll in beautiful surroundings and hopefully enrich your mood and outlook, please come and join the Stress Buster strollers on the last Tuesday of every month, meeting at 10 30, next to the Romilly Park tennis courts.

 

 

Wenvoe Forum – Considering Today And Tomorrow

A WENVOE FORUM – CONSIDERING TODAY AND TOMORROW

More and different!

Recently the Primary school was kind enough to include mention of our survey in its regular newsletter to parents. We were delighted as it brought in lots of new responses. Like the world leaders at the G7 summit in Cornwall the climate crisis is important to those who responded and hopefully the meeting we are holding on 1st July will be well attended and spark some further activity, details below. Maybe some of our ideas for improving the local availability of sustainable produce might be raised.

Several responses from the school parents mentioned that whilst the new playground is great and seems to be well used, there is little for young people (11-18s) in Wenvoe. If anyone in that age group has ideas for a development that they would like to see, then step forward and the Forum will do its best to help them make it a reality. We would welcome some young voices on the Forum. Others mentioned more community activities, mother and baby sessions and holiday activity for children.

The Forum has set up a private face-book group to be used as a resource for Wenvoe residents. If you want to find out what the Forum is doing or you want to make a suggestion, or let people know what you are doing, this is the place to go. There will be a few rules, as we do not want the page to be an advertising or political site.

To join ‘friend up’ with Gwen Fo who has her own face-book page and you will be invited to join this private group.

If you are reading this and it’s still June we hope to see you at the event

 

More opinions needed please.
If you haven’t completed the survey please, please do, it only takes 2 minutes. You will find it at this address
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/7Y2G95H or on our Facebook page

We particularly want to hear from younger resi-dents, under 25s, students at school, college or university after all it’s your future we are think-ing about.

Anyone who would like to join the Forum for its on-line meetings will be very welcome, please contact us at Gwenfo.Forum@gmail.com and we can tell you more.
