What makes you, you?

Tuesday- 20th May-4th June, 1-2 pm


Many people go through life without reaching their full potential. This happens because they stay in jobs or relationships that do not fulfill them or bring happiness to their lives. This stems from people not understanding who they are and what they want from life. Have you ever wondered what makes you the unique person that you are? Join Village Hub member Thelma to explore your personality using the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator. The group will look at different types of personalities and how to use your strengths in your interactions to avoid misunderstandings.

Which one are you??

Spanish for beginners - Expressions of interest

Have you ever wanted to learn another language? They say it's never too late!

Learning a new language as an older adult offers numerous cognitive and social benefits, including improved memory, brain function, and cognitive reserve, while also potentially delaying the onset of dementia. Furthermore, it can lead to increased social engagement and cultural understanding. 

We would like to offer a member-led ' Spanish for beginners' group on Tuesdays from 11 am -12 pm or 2.00-3.00 pm.


Please let us know at reception if you are interested in this group and what time you would prefer
