Who is Crawley Hospital

Crawley's CAMEO Club is the latest community group to receive a small grant from Crawley Borough Council. The Come and Meet Each Other Club has been running for more than 10 years and supports elderly men and women at their bi-monthly sessions in the town centre.The group was awarded £750 from Crawley Borough Council's Open Grants fund, which will go towards the running costs of the group, including hall hire and lunches. Run by a volunteer management committee, including Chairman Bill Dewey and Secretary Jean Felstead, the club offers opportunities for older people to stay social and meet new people to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. At each session, members gather to talk about a range of local issues and subjects, with special guest speakers, followed by tea, coffee and cakes. Cabinet Member for Community Engagement, Councillor Michael Jones, said: "This is a wonderful community club that encourages older people to stay active and most importantly, social. "At the session I attended I met a welcoming group of people who spoke about how beneficial this club is to them. "I'm very pleased that we have been able to award this grant for these activities. Crawley Borough Council remains committed to supporting our local pensioners and it is through activities like this our community groups can add a little bit of happiness." If you would like to join or volunteer with the club, contact CAMEO on 01293 416157. Open Grants from £50 are available for local voluntary and community groups. This scheme funds a range of organised activity for wide community benefit. Unfortunately, individuals cannot apply.Read More
