Good evening everyone
Breaking News… as from today Co-op members can select Greenmount Village Community as their local cause.
For the next twelve months when you buy a Co-op branded product in store you add 1p to your personal account to either spend in-store or donate and now you can also send 1p to the GVC Local Cause.
Pennies make pounds and lots of pounds make new benches and wellbeing signage for the Lines area.
Please log on to your account today and select Greenmount Village Community

Dear All,
It was lovely, yet again to see so many at our weekly Cuppa and Chat session on Thursday afternoon, and some new faces too. We were visited by two members from The Healthwatch Bury group, who are welcoming people to ‘Have their say on local health and social care services’.
Healthwatch visit different areas of Bury to meet with its residents and they will be returning to us in the next 4 to 6 weeks. If you have something to report or make enquiries about please do not hesitate to come to Greenmount Old School between 2 and 4pm on a Thursday afternoon. The date of their next visit will be confirmed in due course. One of the main questions yesterday was ‘Are we having our Flu Jabs at our GP’. The answer to this question is no. You can find more information on this link https://www.bury.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=16483
Please note, if you wish to speak to a member of the Healthwatch team, you do not need to be attending a Cuppa and Chat as there will be a separate area available for anyone wishing to speak in private.
Dates for your diary:
21st October – Sing-A-Long with Don
4th November – Winter Warmer. Please note this will be at the earlier time of 12.45pm as there will be a Hot Pot/Cheese Pie lunch available as well as Parkin to mark the season. In order to help with catering we are asking that people book in advance by replying to this email.
!6th December – Christmas with Greenmount Strummers
To help with the funding of these events we now have a weekly donation of just £1 towards refreshments.
I look forward to seeing you soon,
With kind regards,
Julie Southworth
