🌝🚶♀️Weekly Wednesday Wellness Walks
Our walks continued during July and not all were hot and sticky. One was cancelled due to a lack of a second volunteer but none were cancelled due to the temperature. As usual, walking slowly, sometimes chatting and seeing how the Cygnets have grown, admiring the flower beds and the Bee House and further round watching the ducks, was relaxing.
Cancelled walks are posted on our Socials so please check. We walk weekly unless there aren’t two volunteers available or if the weather is against us. We’re a small friendly, non-judgmental group, a safe space to join and to amble around St Nicholas Park within company every Wednesday evening, unless the weather or lack of volunteers prevents the walk. Come and try us out one Wednesday evening at 7pm, we meet at the Café steps.

🎶🎼🎤The Rhythm of Life
It was such a joy to join the Village Voices Choir Warwick and celebrate the kindness and generosity of our community. The Village Voices choir, who are fundraising for us this year, held their summer concert on July 11th in the Holy Trinity Church Leamington Spa. This coincided with an England football match during the World Cup so there were fewer attendees but the Choir, Youth Orchestra and Soloists were excellent and those who did attend were well pleased.
@HemaYellapragada, one of our trustees, went to thank @villagevoiceschoir for raising funds for Women Stepping Out. These funds will make a real difference in the lives of women as they take positive steps towards a brighter future. We are truly grateful to Village Voices for their support.

👮🚨👮♀️ Warwick- Safer Neighbourhood Team
We have a featured talk each month and this month we had an excellent presentation by our local Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) outlining clearly what they were able to do and what they were not. Their role includes engaging with the public with hi visibility foot patrols in designated areas, giving community information at events to manage the expectation of their scope and effect and to go into schools to inform children of the dangers of certain behaviours such as submitting to peer pressure and exploitation. Attendees found the talk by Warwick safer neighbourhood team very insightful and engaging. The SNT team shared valuable information about their role in keeping our community safe.
The talk gave us a better understanding of the work they do day in and day out and challenges they face. This was followed by an interactive Q&A session where many important questions were discussed. It was an engaging session followed by light refreshments.
A big thank you to the Warwick Safer Neighbourhood Team for taking the time to deliver such an informative talk and for their continued dedication to our community.
