Relaxation of lockdown has hardly changed life for our members. Most are unable to get to the shops through lack of own transport. They are unable to stand in queues and mainly lack confidence. The only transport available to them to attend medical appointments for now is the taxi as distancing rules prevent them to share volunteers' cars. We are most grateful to the Co-op staff for their understanding and assistance in making up orders.
We are keeping in touch regularly with our members via phone calls to prevent loneliness. They continue to be provided with fish and chips every 2 weeks to make up for the absence of regular meetings. Thank you to Ryan at Market Hill Fisheries for his continued support.
It will be some time before we can even contemplate restarting our activities and sadly our Make A Difference Day planned for Saturday 24th October will not go ahead.
Items previously advertised (large ironing board and a child high chair) are still available. If anyone is interested in making a donation to the Club for them please get in touch by ringing 733441.
All members have been saddened by the passing away of Marion Caley, a much esteemed lady at the Disabled Club. This wasn't unexpected but still very upsetting having known Marion personally for the best part of 30 years. She came to the Club as a volunteer many years ago while assisting another Club member. She was helping on outings and with refreshments. She also joined the Kurling group and became the group representative on the Club Board of Trustees. Sadly with the Covid-19 restrictions we have not been able to say good bye in the way we would have liked.
We are most grateful to Mr & Mrs Jones for their very generous donation. Their continued support is indeed very much appreciated.
