Stay warm with CHP at Parkside Community Hub this winter
We understand the struggle that many will face this winter with increased energy bills and the rising cost of living. To help, we’re opening Parkside Community Hub as a warm, sociable space for you to visit.
We’re inviting people to come by Monday to Thursday, 9am to 4.30pm, where you’ll be able to enjoy a hot drink, biscuits and socialise with others. We welcome anyone, whether you’re a customer of CHP or not.
While you’re at Parkside Community Hub, why not see what else is on offer? Every Tuesday we have specialists available to give advice on benefits. They can talk to you about the different benefits available and help you find out what you might be entitled to receive.
We hold IT drop-in sessions every Wednesday. If you’d like to brush up on your IT skills or even learn some basics like how to place an online shopping order, feel free to visit us and see what skills you can take away.
If learning a new language is up your street, why not pop along to Social Spanish? This is another drop-in session that happens every Thursday. It’s a laid-back class where you can pick up another language whilst meeting new people and having fun.
Every fourth Tuesday of the month we have Hearing Help come to support people with their hearing aids. They’ll be able to help with general maintenance of your hearing aids, including replacing tubing and cleaning. This service is by appointment only, so make sure you book ahead. Take a look at our What’s on calendar to find a date that works for you and contact details to arrange your appointment.
Our community fridge has just opened so if you’re coming to Parkside Community Hub to enjoy a session or warm up, see what’s available in the fridge. Food is subject to availability and please make sure you have a bag to take anything home with you. You can also contribute to our community fridge too, just make sure that it’s unopened, in date and has allergy information on the packaging.
We’ve got more activities coming up in the next couple of months, including Christmas activities in early December. Keep an eye our social media feeds and What’s on calendar for more information soon.
