On Thursday 26th January from 10.30 am to 1.30 pm, Ventnor Town Council and partner agencies will be holding the first of a regular monthly ‘Our Place’ session at St. Catherine’s Church.

The event will bring together groups from the local voluntary and community sector with Island-wide agencies. Organisations attending will include our local PCSO, Citizen’s Advice, People Matter, Living Well and Early Help, Veteran’s Outreach Support, Barnardo’s, Ventnor Community Shed, Ventnor Well-being Cafe, Sight for Wight, Isle of Wight Stroke Association and Baby Box Isle of Wight.

Thanks to St Catherine’s Church for hosting the event.

There will be free tea, coffee and cake and the opportunity to talk to representatives of these organisations to access support or have an informal chat.

It’s a chance to meet with groups and agencies that don’t have a permanent base in Ventnor.

Based on an idea that originated at West Wight Sports and Community Centre in Freshwater – where a similar event has been taking place regularly and is attended by around 100 residents each week.
