Volunteers Update Summer 22
It’s been a busy few months, with a lot going on behind the scenes for our volunteer friends. Planning for the future, celebrating the last year and raising awareness at the Dementia Festival.
Caraway Retreat & Prayer Day
Over twenty gathered on a sunny morning in July to worship together, listen to God in a period of silence and pray for the work of Caraway and the older people in our communities.
Our time of reflection was based on the verse from Luke 10: 27 “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself,”
Pimm’s & Pudding
Our volunteers are the backbone of everything that we do. Without their very generous gifts of time we would not be able to spiritually resource our growing community of those that are older but still young at heart.
It is always a pleasure to get our volunteers together in any capacity, but our Summer get together over Pimm’s & Pudding is always a highlight.
What a beautiful evening we all enjoyed on the balmy summer’s night of Tuesday 19th July, as the sun set. We gathered in Ros’ Garden over a plethora of indulgent puddings and a glass or two of Pimm’s, getting to know fresh faces and catching up with existing friends.
