Dear Members,

W elcome to our Autumn newsletter from

Kilburn Good Neighbours.

Although it seems a while ago now, below are some pictures from our wonderful day out to Walton on the Naze. We were blessed with beautiful sunshine and members managed to paddle in the sea, find the best fish and chips, climb up to the tower and some even got on a local bus and visited Clacton! All in all we had a lovely day out. We’ll keep you informed on future trip plans, these will depend on funding so watch this space….

Winter Warmer 2017

W e’d like to invite you all to a Winter

Warmer Tea here at the Abbey centre on Wednesday 1st November from 2.30—4pm. We’ll have cakes, biscuits, tea, coffee and mulled wine on offer! Please would you phone to let us know if you’d like to come though since we won’t hold the tea if we don’t have

enough people on our list.

If any of you would like to come but can’t because of transport issues, give me a call and we can discuss paying for a taxi to bring you here and take you home—we don’t want anyone to miss out on the fun!

T he Abbey Community Centre will be hosting another of its very successful ‘Restart Parties’ on 18th November between

1.00am and 1pm. These events are an opportunity for any of you to bring along any electrical gadgets/items that need fixing. We have a team of experts on hand to try their best with your item—it could be a toaster, kettle, laptop, come along and give it a try, no

need to book, just turn up…

L ast year a talented local musician performed a beautiful piano recital for us at the Abbey. She has agreed to do another

performance this year in November. If any of you would like to find out more, give us a call and we should have more details nearer the time.

L astly, don’t forget about our wonderful new Saturday Community Café (Abbey’s Café). Many Kilburn Good Neighbours members have already been enjoying our

delicious home-cooked and very low costs food on a Saturday. The café runs from 11.00am to 2pm and as well as a variety of delicious foods including specials of the day and yummy desserts there is an opportunity to get help with any computer issues or to join in with some creative arts and crafts activities. If you’d like to talk about coming to the café or get your hands on some of our free meal vouchers, give Joanna a call.

We hope you continue to make good use of Kilburn Good Neighbours, that those of you who have a regular volunteer visiting still enjoy it and those of you who get help from Frank or Simon find that useful. If you’d like a volunteer to visit you either occasionally or regularly, call us on 020 7604 4823 and we’ll try and find you someone to match your interests and personality! I can also visit to help with correspondence, forms, housing issues etc. so don’t hesitate to call.

With best wishes, Joanna
