Our Knit and Natter volunteers have been busy knitting poppies, some of which were handed out to ward patients last week by Chris, Rona, Margaret and staff members Louise, Vanessa and Beckie. Today a representation of Coffee Shop volunteers led by manager Verena, took part in the Remembrance Sunday Parade through town and laid a wreath on our behalf at the War Memorial in the Castle Grounds.

Spaces are limited so booking is essential……..

Living with dementia - or a loved one is?
Dementia Carer Workshop at Bridgnorth Library on Wednesday 19 November, 10:30am–12:30pm.

The session will be led by Martyn, Home Instead Training Manager, and is designed for anyone caring for a loved one, friend, or neighbour who would like to:

Develop a deeper understanding of dementia
Ask dementia-specific questions in a supportive setting
Learn practical tips, tools, and communication techniques to help make everyday life a little easier for those living with dementia
We ran this workshop around a year ago and it proved extremely popular, we even had a waiting list!

As these are not held often, this is a fantastic opportunity to benefit from Martyn’s experience and insight.

The workshop is free to attend, and refreshments will be provided.

Booking is essential, as spaces are limited. Martyn prefers to work with smaller groups so he can offer more personal guidance and support to everyone attending.

Location: Bridgnorth Library, 67 Listley Street, Bridgnorth, WV16 4AW
Date: Wednesday 19th November 2025
Time: 10:30am – 12:30pm

To book your place: Call 01952 913219 or email weekendsupervisor@telford.homeinstead.co.uk

This afternoon we held a ‘Thank You’ get-together for our wonderful volunteers because…..

The air is crisp, the moon is bright,
And spooky spirits fill the night.
But scarier than a ghost's soft peep,
Is work that's done while others sleep!
Through fog and mist, they’ve lent a hand,
The best volunteers in all the land…….

…….well we think they are!!
