Welcome back!

Happy New Year to you all. We can’t wait to see you again!

With the Covid-19 Omicron variant continuing to cause problems, we are making some changes to our programme. We are very aware that there is no firm guidance from government as we write, but we also feel it’s important to ensure that we can continue our activities as safely as possible while we await more guidance and to hear more about the evidence of the risks. Here is a list of how we’ll manage our different January activities:

Happy Hub Coffee Morning. For the first two weeks of January, we would like to welcome you to our community’s winter garden. Wrap up warm and we’ll do our best to help you feel snug with blankets and hot chocolate. Come to the normal entrance when you arrive and we’ll guide you through. Weeding is optional!

Bring & Share Community Lunch. We will be pausing these for the moment as it is difficult to maintain 2m social distancing. Instead we would like to invite you to join us on a lunchtime wellbeing walk through Lightwoods and Warley Woods, 12:30-13:30. We’ll go at a pace that includes everyone. If you have any concerns about accessibility please call Sally on 07599 595 514 to discuss!

Co-working: coworking numbers will be limited and all spaces must be booked via eventbrite for the moment, to ensure we can maintain 2m social distancing: http://bearwood.eventbrite.com

Stay & Play: Our bookable numbers for this are small and so we will continue to offer Stay & Play: http://bearwood.eventbrite.com

Listening Ear project: if you need someone to talk to, Maddison will be there for you - at a safe distance as usual. Please book for both Tuesday and Wednesday sessions: http://bearwood.eventbrite.com

Bearwood Community Bakery: our community bakery will continue to bake delicious bread for you. Make sure you get your order in! www.bearwood.cc/shop

Thank you for being patient with us while we try to keep each other safe.
