As we step into this brand-new year, we’re bursting with excitement and hope for what lies ahead in our brilliant village! 🌼 This is the perfect moment to come together as a community and make a real impact right here at home. We are thrilled to invite YOU to be part of something truly special – our project to build a NEW Community Centre right here in Hadlow Down!
Imagine a vibrant hub where we can gather, learn, create, and celebrate – a place where friendships blossom and ideas flourish. The new Community Centre will not only provide a warm and welcoming space for all ages, but it will also enhance our wellbeing and strengthen the bonds within our community. Whether it’s crafting classes, fitness sessions, or cozy coffee mornings, there will be something for everyone to enjoy!
By getting involved, you’ll play a pivotal role in enriching the lives of our villagers. Studies show that active participation in community projects dramatically boosts our mental wellbeing. With this new centre, we’ll have an incredible opportunity to increase social engagement, reduce isolation, and foster a spirit of collaboration that Hadlow Down is known for! 💪❤️
Every extra hand, every smile, and every idea counts! From helping us organise events to lending a hand in construction or simply spreading the word – there are countless ways you can contribute to this exciting venture. Together, we can create a community space that reflects our collective passion and creativity, where everyone feels welcome and valued.
So, as we embark on this year of possibilities, let’s connect, collaborate, and champion the spirit of Hadlow Down! If you’re as excited as we are, drop us a message or come to our next village meeting on 24th January to find out how YOU can get involved. Let’s make 2024 a year to remember, where we truly come together to build not just a centre, but a brighter future for all! Email Mandy or Sarah for all the details mandy.chapman45@gmail.com, sarah@downthelane.uk
Here’s to new beginnings and the wonderful journey ahead! 🌈🥳
