It’s always hard going along to a group for the first time, especially if you’re on your own, but don’t worry, you will be among friends who have been through similar experiences and, therefore, will understand.
WE ARE AN AWARD WINNING GROUP
Our Support Group was one of the first voluntary groups to receive The Queen’s Golden Jubilee Award for Voluntary Service by Groups in the Community and we hold a trophy and a certificate signed by Her Majesty. The Mayor of Blackburn with Darwen presented us with an award as part of Volunteers Week celebrations. A further award was from the House of Commons, All Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer.Wow! What a great night. The ladies from the Clitheroe branch of u3a gave an interesting and informative speech about what the u3a is and what they do. I think that they might get a couple of applications.
The group will continue to meet the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm in the dining room at Beardwood Hospital. We have an exciting calendar for 2025 and we welcome any new members. If you need further information, please get in touch.
See you in April.
