Summertime, and the living is a little easier, but although Paris might close down for the month of August, in Pewsey and particularly in the VAK offices it’s more or less business as usual. Fish are jumping though, and while we don't have cotton, the river is high, with all the rain we've been having......
We’re planning an information sharing event in September, at the Coronation Hall in Alton Barnes. This will be an opportunity to find out about Area Board Funding, Area Partnerships/Boards, an update on Wiltshire Council/PCT’s review, engaging with the PCT and the Adult Care Workforce Development Strategy. Call the VAK offices if you’d like to book a place.
The Children’s Centre has been running all its usual activities, as well as special summer holiday events .The Big Picnic was very well attended and everyone cheerfully accepted the British Summer Weather and had a good time in spite of the rain.

The Children’s Centre staff also ran the Green Balloon Day event at the end of July, tying in with the CBeebies Breathing Places scheme. (That explains the sacks of compost we were all falling over in the office.)

The Time Bank continues to flourish. The next coffee morning at Meadow Court will be on Thursday 27 August. All welcome to come along, meet Time Bankers, swap ideas for services and activities and chat to the Meadow Court residents – if you think you’ve got the energy to keep up with them!

For general information about activities in and around the Pewsey Community Area, contact the Information Point. If we don't know the answer, we usually know how to find out, and we like visitors.

Hope everyone has had a lovely summer, with lots of sun and ice-cream and sand between the toes. September looms, back to work, back to school, new projects starting, lots of things going on. Keep reading the blog (or Twitter) to stay up to date with what’s going on.
