Trip to Chester Zoo

I really enjoyed the trip to Chester Zoo. It was very interesting because when we arrived a lovely lady welcomed us and gave usa guided tour, which was great. We got to see the baby Giraffe and while we were viewing the baby stood up on all it’s feet!
My favourite was the Elephants. We viewed them outside and the big Elephant had a fight with the small elephant. That was the best laugh of the day.

The butterfly house was great. I have never seen so many lovely colours.

You learn something every day. The weather was pleasant and I would like to go back next year!

The Breakfast Club

The Roby is arranging a meeting on the afternoon of the 5th August 2009 @ The Roby starting at 15:30 and going on no later than 17:00 to discuss ideas and how we could introduce a Breakfast Club at The Roby.

I would like us to open the doors from 08:30 to 09:30, Monday to Friday to provide refreshments, help people get their best meal of the day, socialise and also allow people to speak to staff members and volunteers if they have any problems and provide support and/or solutions so that they might have a more enjoyable day. I think this could be a great remedy to waking up and feeling like the whole day is going to be crap!

This would need to be a user-led initiative, with food and drinks donated and the kitchen staffed by volunteers, so I need your ideas.

The agenda for the day will be:

Agreeing “what is on offer”?
Working out how it will work?
Who will do what (action planning and recruiting volunteers)?
How to advertise?

Paul Beswick from FareShare Food has kindly agreed to attend to discuss what FareShare can offer and how their scheme works.

If you could please promote this event to your service users / volunteers and networks and I would be grateful if people could RSVP to me if they would like to attend.

Kind regards,
