I have done little to update this site since the COVID pandemic. Things are now improving and I hope to make regular postings about our activities.

CREst’s TUESDAY CLUB

Most of our work has been centred around helping the Tuesday Club. This continues to operate out of Piper Hall every Tuesday from 12.00 till 2.00pm under the leadership of Jill.

Average weekly attendances have been rising in 2022. See below:

Jan: 71.8 Feb: 70.0 Mar:74.8 Apr:85.3 May: 92.0 Jun:84.0 Jul:80.5 Aug:84.2 Sep93.8. Oct:108.0

The attendances this month were 129,119 and 103.

Our principal anxieties are that if this winter is harsh we may really pushed to cope. Already we are getting refugees attending for help. Some from Somalia ad Eritrea and we have helped Kurds from Northern Iraq and Iran three of whom have volunteered to help and been very useful. Our other worry is where we might go when Piper hall is knocked down for regeneration. The much smaller Queen Mary’s Hall is being refurbished as an interim replacement until the new Hall is built. We have all told RBK that we do not think this will work.

Jill and I continue to attend the Community Board, the most recent meeting of which was today.
