On Friday, 14 August, Sue, Marion and John, Trustees of Open Door Warminster, welcomed Sean, Captain of Warminster Bowls Club, to the Friday Bereavement Café, where he presented them with a cheque from members of the Bowls Club.
He explained that as the Captain this year it was his decision to donate funds to a local charity supporting members of the local community, in both town and the surrounding villages.
He believed that Open Door Warminster provided such a service by welcoming people to their Cafés at the Athenaeum. On Thursdays to the Social Café where folk on their own could get together over a coffee to chat. On the second and fourth Fridays the Bereavement Café enabling grieving people to talk and share, whilst on the first and third Fridays, the Cancer Support Café is held for anyone affected by cancer. On two Monday evenings a month the Prostate Support Group meet, enabling men to come together, chat and support each other.
Each Café is free, open to all and Sue thanked Sean for the donation towards the costs incurred. Funding our cafés is an important aspect of our role to ensure we can continue to offer this vital service.
