Monthly News, May 2025

Condolences:
Brian Mace who lived in Yaverland Close and had moved into a care home has sadly passed away. His service will be held at the Crematorium on 16 May at 12.00.

Funds Raised:
The plant swop,donate,buy raised an amazing total of £109.32 This will be donated to The Sandown Green Town Volunteers. The raffle raised £59 against costs of £55 prizes.

Future Event Fees:
Unfortunately we do need to raise the cost of attendance going forward as this was the second meeting where the costs of the room hire and food were not fully covered by the fees due to the food costs being under estimated in advance.

Monthly Thursday Afternoon Social:
The informal drop-in monthly Thursday Afternoon Socials (2nd Thurs of the month till Nov) will continue at Pluto Café, BROWNS from noon till 3:30pm in line with Browns public opening hours. Further details in Events

Fields Surrounding Yaverland:
The land surrounding the estate has been bought by RSPB (STC.) We believe that this area will become an extension of the RSPB Brading Marshes Reserve.

Wildheart Animal Sanctuary Funding for the Bears:
They have already raised £150,000 to build a new habitat for Benji & Balu and now need to raise further funds for transportation costs to bring them to their forever home. If you would like to support this cause please go to their website to make a donation. https://wildheartanimalsanctuary.org/project-bears/
