A new pilot project has recently started in Toddington, Nr Tewkesbury. The inititative, funded by Gloucestershire County Council and delivered by GRCC’s In Touch project in conjunction with the Village Agents project, aims to provide older people living in Toddington and the surrounding areas with an opportunity to come together at the Pheasant Pub on a monthly basis to participate in both health and arts based activities and enjoy a traditional pub lunch.

In areas like Toddington, where access to local meeting places are limited and transport links are poor or non existent, this type of activity will enable older people to socialise, find out what health services are available to them and participate in creative arts based activities in a friendly, safe environment.

To find out more about this project or join the existing group, please contact Barbara Piranty or Vicki Hewlett at GRCC on 01452 528491.
