Roseworth Online Coffee Morning Turns 1!

14th April 2021

One year ago, on the 17th April 2020, Roseworth Big Local launched the online coffee morning.

It was an anxious wait that first Friday morning on Zoom, but one by one people appeared in the waiting room. We spent part of our first meeting talking to someone’s slippers because they couldn’t turn the camera around! But we laughed through all the technical problems and we have never looked back.

Since then the coffee morning has become an anchor for some of our residents; a ‘constant’ to rely on for social support. Even our feedback showed it was having a positive impact on local people and their social and emotional wellbeing.

We have been there through laughter, through tears, through happiness and sadly through loss. We took part in SIRF! We delivered a workshop and trained other big local areas across the country, we played the generation game and we even had international visitors all the way from America at our Christmas day event.

We are really proud of what we have achieved so we want to open our doors to our community to join us for a coffee and reflect on the last year. find out how you can join us HERE.
