DropBy

Another brilliant idea from Kent.
We have been asked to publicise the following service which we think looks really helpful and is the kind of project DropBy wants to promote and support.

A new service for people who have found themselves single & isolated due to the death or separation of a partner.

Participants can come and learn a new skill and have fun while they socialise with like-minded people.

A 12 week series of workshops to equip participants with practical skills

Including:
Personal safety and home security
Online and telephone banking
Personal finances
Basic car maintenance
Simple DIY
Healthy eating and cooking for one

Each course will incorporate a social event, such as a pub lunch or theatre trip.

CAMEO groups will provide an extended social circle and opportunities to learn new and essential life skills. CAMEO will help people to help themselves and one another. The project will support isolated people to learn new skills and to become involved in adult learning, volunteering and new social friendships. The project aims to foster a spirit of community involvement and to empower people to become involved in decisions that affect their lives and their communities.

If this is you, then do not be alone, come along and learn a new skill, have fun whilst you socialise with like-minded people.
