Talk Community Hubs: Ledbury
Colwall Community Hub
rita.colwallparish@gmail.com • Colwall Park Hotel, Colwall, WR13 6QG
We're a friendly group of like-minded people, who want to make a difference in the lives of others, through social opportunities, in our local community.
We meet on the first Monday of every month at the Colwall Park Hotel, from 3pm until 5pm. Our hub invites great speakers, from local services, who come along to let us know what they do. We're here to help you connect to information and support you may need, which is on your doorstep.
We'd like to make a difference by...
- Helping people to find sources of help
- Combating loneliness in a friendly, welcoming and inclusive environment
- Arranging different activities, such as litter picking
- Linking together the existing groups in our village
- Supporting the local food bank
- Organising community events
- Having fun
