Wadebridge Community Day
THE John Betjeman Centre
was abuzz on Saturday 29 th
October for its first Wadebridge
Community Day.
More than eighty people came
to meet with representatives
from twenty three different
organisations, charities and
support groups. They handed
out leaflets and free goodies.
The day was organised by
Concern Wadebridge, which is
based at the Betjeman Centre,
and supported by Age UK
Cornwall as part of its Go For
Gold celebrations.
During the day Julia Treglown
held two sponsored aerobics
sessions, including a chairbased
event which has helped
to raise more than £1,000
which will be divided between
Concern Wadebridge and
Macmillan Cancer Support.
Concern Wadebridge manager
Emma Burt said: “We were
overwhelmed by the response.
Seeing so many people talking
and groups networking
between each other was really
rewarding. I just wish we had
thought of it sooner.
“A massive thank you to Julia
for organising the sponsored
aerobics and to all the people
that took part to make the
event such a success; also, a
special mention to Vitality Chi
for their generous donation.”
