What makes you, you?
Friday 23 May - 6 June, 11.00am

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.

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

Dirty Cups and Glasses
The Village Hub is your Village Hub and we ask that you help us keep it neat and tidy. We ask everyone to please put all dirty cups or glasses directly into the dishwasher. Please do not wash them and leave them in the draining board as we need to sterilise them between use. Please do not leave them on tables and benches as we don' necessarily see them at the end of the day.
We really appreciate your cooperation with this issue. Thankyou
