Events within the community

Resident

Hope all is well, 

I have recently attended a Jackmans Network meeting with multiple partner agencies I work with, here is some of the things they offer.

Every Wednesday at 10:30 meeting at the Jackmans Community Centre, after the walk feel free to join for a coffee within the community centre. Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the meet to register. This walk is suitable for buggy and wheelchair users and people recovering from illnesses.

Letchworth Community Research Project

Letchworth Community Research Project want to hear from you. They are inviting local residents to take part in a friendly, informal chat about what it’s like to live in the Southeast ward. They want to know:

What do you love about where you live?

What would you change if you could?

What really matters to you day-to-day?

Whether you’ve lived here all your life or just moved in, alone or with family, whatever age, background, gender or circumstances, your voice matters. As a thank you for taking part they are offering participants either a pair of tickets for the Broadway Cinema or a family day ticket to Standalone Farm. Contact Kate at beedk@nhdcab.org.uk
