I recently had the pleasure of joining Kay Hammond and Caroline Clancey for a Sunday community lunch in Smallfield.
I was struck by talking to a couple of people about the difficulty we all face in getting back on our feet having lost someone incredibly dear, someone who may have been by our side for decades.
We all need people around us, and I firmly believe that three of the best things in life are the three F’s: family, friends and food. Kay and Caroline host these lunches every month and incorporate all three.
So thank you to Kay, Caroline, Fiona, Cathy and all the volunteers, and to Sandra for her bedazzling front of house! We are so lucky to have you all in East Surrey.
As some of you may know, bringing people together, getting to know our neighbours and combatting loneliness are issues that I really care about.
I'll be doing a lot more work on these areas this year, so if you want to get involved or if you've got any ideas please do get in touch at [email protected].
