QEQM Hospital League of Friends
The Walmer Castle Greek Taverna in Westgate is staging a special event on Sunday, June 28 to raise funds for the QEQM Hospital League of Friends. They’re offering a takeaway three-course Greek meze meal for a minimum donation of £10 per person and very generously absorbing all their costs.
They stress the importance of complying with Government rules and guidance and to that end you must book by telephone as far in advance as possible and will be allocated a time slot to collect your meal(s), which are being staggered between 1pm and 8pm to help maintain proper social distancing. Further information is available on the Facebook page of the Walmer Castle Greek Taverna.
Please phone 01843 834805 to book your collection time.

Group mentoring: This is a group setting run on a Monday evening. We have about 19 young people who attend this group. We have volunteer mentors at the group to support the young people and there are different activities such as arts and crafts, cooking, games, music lessons and sports. We also have yoga. This is a two hours every Monday. In the school holidays we go on trips. If a young person at the group needs 1-2-1 with a mentor the foundation finds them a match.
