  The Weston Light Orchestra will be playing for us on Saturday 14th October at 7.30 pm at St Andrew's Church in Cheddar (BS27 3RF). The proceeds of this concert will go towards our purchase of a defibrillator for our Community Hub in Loxton. The Weston Light Orchestra have been around since 1919 (not the same performers!) and frequently play for charity events. Their music is easy-listening, Palm Court-style. Tickets cost just £10 which includes refreshments during the interval, and can be bought on the door on the night (cash only, please) or by card at the Frankie Howerd Community Café in Loxton (BS26 2XE), or at other venues which will be posted here soon. Please come and join us and have a relaxing and enjoyable evening. There is plenty…

From August, we are starting a brand new service for senior citizens in the BS26 postcode area.Every Thursday morning our community bus will come to homes to pick up senior citizens to visit the café and hub in Loxton for a drink, snack and a chat, and then take you home. This service will be free, although passengers will have to pay for their food and drink at the café. The aim is to help people get together and make friends. To take part, phone or text 07881 630 629 or email [email protected] The first day will be Thursday, August 3rd. Please pass this on to those who would benefit from this service but who may not have access to the Internet. Thanks!

And here we are in London: the Trustees along with representatives of National Grid, and the National Lottery Community Fund (who gave us the grants) and M4 Van Centre, Swindon, who provided the minibus, and the “absolutely fabulous” Dame Joanna Lumley, our President and Patron Suzy Aitchison, the late Dame June Whitfield’s daughter. Our charity supports residents in the BS26 area, so if you wish us to take a group of you on a leisure or social outing, please contact us on 07881 630629 (Phil Davies) or email [email protected] Please let us have your ideas on how we can best make use of this wonderful facility for the community – thanks!

Thanks to generous donations from National Grid and the National Lottery "Awards for All" scheme, we have just purchased a minibus which will be ready in the near future to ferry elderly and disabled residents (and those without transport) to and from the café, and to take them to various social, medical and recreational venues. This is great news and shows how much our project is supported. Thank you.
