Cook-In for the Homeless: A fun-filled cook-in at Alyth in the morning from 10:00-13:00. We will be preparing food for the Alyth and Golders Green Parish Church Homeless Shelter to be served throughout the winter. Help to make the meals that make a difference.
Sunshine to Seniors: Our Alyth Youth Singers will be visiting Jewish Care’s Rosetrees Home to entertain residents.
The Listening Project: Drop in for coffee and cake in the Library anytime between 10:00-12:30. Trained Alyth members will be holding conversations to hear members’ thoughts and experiences of how mental health issues are handled in our community and society. We need to hear from you! The aim is to identify key issues on which to focus in a future social action project. See this week’s Thought for the Week to find out more.

A light lunch will be provided.
