Holly Lodge Community Centre is looking for a new Treasurer for a couple of hours each week. Full details are available here: reachvolunteering.org.uk/opp/holly-lodg…

We can now call ourselves Covid-secure, and reopen for hall hire. That said, we'll close on the following dates, so staff and volunteers get a break: 31 Aug - 4 Sept & 21 - 25 Sept. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, and each other, during this uniquely challenging time.

With thanks to Reach Volunteering we welcome Yeshi Abay as Holly Lodge Community Centre's new Treasurer. Yeshi takes on the role from Hertha Koettner-Smith, to whom considerable thanks are due for her several years of dedicated commitment as a trustee.

Holly Lodge Community Centre remembers Sabine Trumpa. Our dearly departed lunch club volunteer, for whom we'll pay respects at her service of thanksgiving tomorrow. Special thanks St Mary Brookfield for their support in arranging this, and to all who contributed photos and recollections.

Thank you for each and every item here (among the latest donations to the food box outside Holly Lodge Community Centre). Please keep chipping in if you can... as Tesco themselves would say - “Every little helps!” 👍🏻

We'd hate to place the community centre food box on furlough, so if you can spare anything, please drop it off as usual - ideally in bags. It's emptied daily, so nothing gets frost damaged. (We've still got the grit this box normally holds, so are 'winter-ready'). Thank you!
