The Strathaven Memory Club usually meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month, in the large hall of Trinity Parish Church, Lethame Road, Strathaven from 1.30pm – 3.15pm.
On 4th April, 4 of our church members who volunteer in the Memory Club attended the Provost’s Community Award ceremony in the Banqueting Suite in the Council Offices in Hamilton. They were delighted to be invited as winners of an award for outstanding community service and were surprised and humbled to be nominated by Provost, Margaret Cooper, and to have been a successful nomination.
Around 30 individuals/groups from all over South Lanarkshire attended and represented all age groups, from an 8 year old upwards, all doing a range of voluntary work in their local areas and each being nominated by a local councillor.
It is amazing how many groups beaver away doing amazing things for the benefit of their communities!
All were awarded with a certificate and a lovely glass paperweight and then everyone enjoyed a very enjoyable afternoon tea.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact Lynda Horn on 07778579504.
MORE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Both groups could benefit from a few extra volunteers especially people willing to collect a member who is unable to come or be brought by a carer. Even if you are only able to come to one of the groups and only regularly to one meeting it would still be a help. Please contact Lynda Horn for more information.
New members are always welcome.
Why not come along and join us, all are most welcome. For more information please contact Lynda Horn on 07778579504.
