Support Groups for Adults or Families

Second Tuesday of the month 2pm - 4pm

Aimed at people in and around Bishop’s Cleeve, Gotherington and Woodmancote, who care, or have cared for a housebound loved one in their own home. 

The organisers endeavour to provide a meeting place where Carers can exchange views and to provide a break or diversion. Help and advice can be given where appropriate and contacts can be made with more specialised organisations. While membership is free a small donation is asked for to cover the cost of hall hire and refreshments. New members are welcome to drop in during sessions.

Usually Wednesdays

Green Square facilitate the New Friends Network group which runs monthly. It is a community group that welcomes everyone. Each month we complete a different activity, which is often craft based. We welcome suggestions for activities from our members and have completed all of the following: glass painting, clay modelling, portrait drawing, crochet, silk painting, cup cake decorating, decoupage, and clay painting as well as other things. The group recently competed in a competition organised by The Barnwood Trust. Their entry was a collage shield, entitled, 'What Bishop's Cleeve Means to Me.'

All abilities are welcome. You can pop along for a cup of tea and a slice of cake with other members of the  local community. The group normally meets 2nd Wednesday of the month, but the day may change dependent on school holidays. Look out for posters, displayed on our noticeboards or contact organiser, Rosie, to check beforehand.
