☕🍰 Coffee, Cake & Company – You're Invited!
Join us for a friendly coffee and cake session and help shape something special for our community.
🗓 Monday 23rd March
⏰ 10am – 2pm
📍 Portland Community Venue, The Studio, Three Yards Close, Portland
This is a free taster session where local people can come together to share ideas and give feedback.
We would love to hear your thoughts on what a local day centre could offer to support older people in Portland. Your views will help shape a welcoming space where people can socialise, feel supported, and enjoy activities.
Whether you are an older person, a family member, a carer, or simply part of the community, everyone is welcome to come along, enjoy refreshments, and have their say.
Your voice matters, and together we can help create something that truly meets local needs.
