The Venus Centre

Located on our doorstep, the Woodvale & Ainsdale Community Centre usually provides daytime, evening and school holiday activities for people in the local community. However, during lockdown the centre has had to improvise and switch its focus to activities which can be enjoyed at home.

FPC’s contribution has enabled activity packs to be distributed to older people in the local community in order to keep them busy at home, as many members feel lonely and isolated at this time. The packs include puzzle books, adult colouring books, pencils, a plant, jigsaws, recipes and a sweet treat so hopefully there’s plenty of activities to occupy their members until the centre can re-open and welcome them back.

Like many organisations this small charity will need help with core costs to ensure that they are able to continue through this pandemic and during the recovery process so we look forward to developing our relationship further.
