Some friends of ours in nearby Uffington a want to convert a bedroom to a bathroom and are seeking recommendations for reputable local architects and builders for the work.
Any suggestions gratefully received by Richard Hankinson on 07881 826757 or [email protected]. Many thanks. We can all face problems that are too stressful or complicated to sort out alone.
In 2019 our 150 volunteers advised over 11,000 people. We helped three quarters resolve their debt, benefits, employment and housing problems. We now need more advisers to help us during and after the Covid-19 crisis. Our main offices are in Abingdon, Didcot, Henley and Thame. Since March 2020, 90 volunteers and staff have been advising the public from home on our Adviceline service. Recently we partially re-opened our offices, in part to train new advisers. What will you get out of it? You will join a friendly team, meet new people, develop your skills and make a real difference to people’s lives. You’ll need to have good listening and interpersonal skills, a willingness to learn and be confident with computers. Full training will be provided. If you have eight hours a week to spare for the next two years or more and are looking for a satisfying and stimulating volunteer role in your local community, please contact us at: www.citizensadvice.org.uk/local/oxfordshire-south-vale/volunteer/ I have an 89 year old mother who is unable to go out much. What keeps her going through these difficult times are jigsaw puzzles. Unfortunately she has exhausted her supply of puzzles and so I thought I would just ask that should anybody have a puzzle (or two) at the back of the cupboard that they don't want anymore whether they would mind letting me have them so that I can pass them on to her (the more difficult the better!).
Alison at 2 The Laurels Westmill Woodland burial ground near Watchfield offers a beautiful non-denominational burial ground for people of all faiths or none. It is run as a not for profit Community Interest Company and you can find out more about us by visiting www.woodlandburialwestmill.co.uk.
Due to Covid 19 restrictions we have lost some of our core staff who need to isolate or shield so we are looking for a few more people to come along and help at funerals on an ad-hoc basis. You need to be physically fit, have transport, like working with people and being outside (in all weathers!). Most funerals take about 3-4 hours with set up and clear up time but they can be longer or shorter as each one is tailored to the needs of that family. We offer training and our team find the work very rewarding. If you are interested give us a call in the office 01367 700615 Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning 10-1. Please spread the word. Thank you. Liz Rothschild. Wanted: Anyone in the locality at a loose end, and willing/able to do some stone-wall re-pointing? He/she does not need to be a professional builder, I'm looking for someone who's just happy to stand there for a few hours, scrape out the dust and replace with a bucket or several of lime-mortar, which I'll provide. No scaffolding. Name your price!
