Happy International Day of Older People! Enjoy some photos of our members having fun, proving that age really is just a number!

Calling all OPAL members! We have space left on our trip next month to Bury Market! Please call 01132619103 to book your place. We have assisted spots available also. Get ready to shop until you drop!

A big well done and thank you to one of our amazing volunteers. Janet has just taken part in the Edale Skyline Challenge - a 20 mile walk to the summits of the Dark Peak area of the Peak District including Kinder Scout and Mam Tor, to raise funds for OPAL!

Design us a Christmas card!

It's been a hot one this week! It seems like summer is finally here! Here are some tips and tricks on how to keep cool:

We all had a wonderful time yesterday at Burnby Hall Gardens looking at the beautiful lilies and feeding the hungry fish! We had a lovely lunch first, soup and a sandwich, then had a walk around the pond. Luckily, it didn't rain so we stayed dry, it was nice to see the sun again!

Thank you to John and James for training all OPAL staff on how to use a fire extinguisher. This was important and useful training, that hopefully we won't need to use!

Our first Welcome In Community Centre & Cafe Scalextric Grand Prix is next Friday! Join us for a morning of racing and fun! Open to all members of the community.

Did you know that it's #volunteerweek this week? We couldn't open our doors and give the support we do without them, so a huge thank you to all of you! If you're interested in volunteering with us, please email [email protected] or call 01132619103 for a chat.

Well done to OPAL's wonderful craft team for this year's entry to the Cookridge Scarecrow Festival. They won 2nd place with the brilliant, Olive and Pierre!! And a huge thank you to the first place winners "The Wizard of Oz" Street, for donating their win to OPAL also.

Join us tomorrow for our weekly table tennis session! This activity is open to all members of our community, and for all abilities.

At each meeting, those who that attend the meeting agree with the police the priorities that the police will be focusing on. Its worth attending! If you can't attend in person, you can attend via zoom. us06web.zoom.us/j/8316699605…...

We are after volunteers who are happy to pick members up in their own cars (mileage expenses available), in our new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) and in our minibus. If this is something you can help with, ad-hoc or regularly, please get in touch! Thank you all!

Can you help us? We are looking for an exercise instructor (paid role) who can teach our members on a Tuesday morning. If this is something you might be interested in, please email [email protected] Thank you!
