Friends & Activities
Friends of Bryony
The Friends of Bryony are an enthusiastic group of volunteers who meet monthly and provide cakes for and chat with the residents.
The Friends also raise funds to provide gifts and cards for Easter, Christmas and Birthdays for the residents.
Monies are raised by holding a raffle at Christmas and a raffle and tombola at the barbecue in the summer.
The Friends also support the Activities coordinator with her activities e.g. making cards, bingo, making hats for Ascot, Easter etc and bringing in a therapy dog.
Friends also accompany residents on excursions e.g. concerts.
The Friends are eager to encourage new folk to join us - please contact Bryony if you are interested.
