THE Active Retirement Club (ARC) of Westbury, celebrated its first meeting of the year with a reunion at its new venue at the Horse & Groom public house in Alfred Street on Tuesday 8th March.

Organisers say, “Everyone was very enthusiastic at once again meeting their friends and acquaintances after the various lockdowns due to the Covid pandemic over the past 2 years. We all enjoyed a very warm and convivial atmosphere along with a splendid luncheon.” 

Bob Musker, landlord of the Horse & Groom said, “I am very pleased to welcome Westbury’s, popular ARC to our premises for both their luncheons and meetings going forward. I believe we can offer all the facilities required for them to grow and build their club which has been in the town for well over 40 years. I would like to wish the ARC every success for the future.” 

The chairman, Bruce Hewitson, outlined a full diary of future talks and social events for the year ahead and the evening concluded with the customary raffle. 

The next scheduled meeting will take place on 19th April at the Horse & Groom. Guests can enjoy two club meetings for free before deciding if they want to join. Membership costs £10 a month. If you would like to join the ARC, or would like to find out more please call Mark on 01373 823826.

Volunteers are being encouraged to come forward and take on an important role helping to support children in care. National research by the Children’s Rights Director for England shows that many children in care would like to have the support of an independent adult in their lives; someone who could spend quality time with them, listen to their day-to-day concerns and take a special interest in their lives. Wiltshire Council’s independent visitor scheme is looking to train more Independent Visitors to take on this valuable role; volunteers are needed who can communicate well with young people, share their interests and have some regular time to spare. More than 80 young people have received support from the Wiltshire scheme since it first started in 2000 and many continue to be involved with the scheme long term. The council is keen to broaden the range of volunteers it has available to match with young people. Men in particular are asked to come forward and become independent visitors for teenage boys in care who would like a male role model. The scheme is also particularly looking for volunteers in the north, west and centre of the county, and volunteers who have experience in supporting with children with additional needs. Laura Mayes, Wiltshire Council cabinet member for children’s services said, “ Young people in care can often feel vulnerable and isolated, so this volunteering role will be vital in ensuring they have much- needed support, encouragement and consistency at such an important time in their life.” One young person who has been matched with their independent visitor for eight years said, “She’s kind, friendly and a great listener. She can cheer me up any time; having an IV means that you have someone to talk to and a friend that you can keep even after you’ve left the social service. She is really nice, a good listener when I need to rant and she is just a very nice person, one of those people you can always get on with and she always thinks of good things to do. Having an IV is just awesome.” For more details contact the Sheila Lupton on 01225 713934, email sheila.lupton @ wiltshire.gov.uk or visit www.wiltshire.gov.uk/ independent visitorscheme
