Great Torrington Army Cadet’s Awards Evening
“We were lucky to hold our Great Torrington Army Cadet’s annual awards dinner at beautifully renovated Torrington Town Hall.
The whole set up and experience was fantastic and seamless from the offset.
We had Best of Bev’s Catering who provided a fantastic 3 course meal. Lovely evening all around.”
Co-Op supporting the Knit & Natter Group
About this cause
The group meets at Torrington Town Hall every Wednesday. They are a disparate group of women from all walks of life, many of them vulnerable, who support each other and engage the town in community knitting projects. The latest project was 21,000 poppies knitted by 2,000 knitters. The funding would help extend outreach work to nursing homes and people living alone.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The knit and natters relied on Messenger groups and telephone calls for support and reassurance during lockdown. Those in the group who suffer from mental health and low self-esteem issues will rely on the group even more post lockdown. During Covid-19 we have identified more vulnerable people in the community and we want to reach out to these new groups of people by getting them involved.
