COME OUT OF THE COLD FOR A WARM WELCOME AT THE HUB <\/strong><\/p>\nIt is reported that even with the recently announced government measures, 1 in 4 people will find it difficult to heat their homes sufficiently this winter.<\/p>\n
The Hub is helping to support its community through the cost-of-living crisis by offering a free warm welcome. You can stay as long as you like during opening hours in a cosy, accessible, and supportive environment. Feel at ease, meet up with neighbours and have a chat. We have free WIFI, and the use of computers and tablets. You can book free one-to-one sessions to come to terms with your digital devices or trace your family history. We even have a selection of board games and activities to keep you all occupied and of course, lots of books. Our friendly volunteers are always at hand to give you a warm-hearted welcome at the Hub.<\/p>\n
WELLBEING GROUP <\/strong><\/p>\nWe have been asked if we could start a support group for carers and those, they support who are living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nWe are pleased to do so, with the following arrangements: This is a self-directed, peer support group for carers and those they support who are living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment. The group will be user-led and aims to provide an opportunity for carers to share lived experiences and relax in a supportive and discrete environment. The group will meet on Friday afternoons when the Hub is closed for other activities. Initially, we were thinking of meeting monthly, but this can be increased according to need. The first session will be at 2p.m. on Friday 25<\/strong>th <\/strong>November at the Hub <\/strong><\/p>\nAlthough the group will be led by carers, we have experienced volunteers at hand who have worked with people living with dementia. As well as serving teas and coffee, depending on the dynamics and needs of the group, our volunteers are looking forward to engaging with the people whom you support in a variety of stimulating and memory-related activities.<\/p>\n
If you are interested in joining the group, please ask a volunteer to add your contact details to the list.<\/p>\n

Our talks are very popular so book early to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\nA Cuppa with a Coppa at the Hub 2pm Wednesday 16th November <\/strong><\/p>\nOur Police Community Support Officer Stephen Davies has been moved to cover Cowbridge.
