COMMUNITY spirit abounds at the Tenby Project drop-in coffee morning, each Monday at the Augustus Place Hall, 10.30am-midday.

Tea/coffee and biscuits are £1; there’s also a raffle and everyone is welcome.

For the adults with additional needs served by the project, the day continues with lunch together and an afternoon activity or talk.

On Tuesdays, you’ll find Toni and Jess at the De Valence Pavilion, running a stall for the Tenby Project at the weekly flea market. Everything on the stall has been donated and is sold for £1.

Meanwhile, the men, after helping to set up the stall, go volunteering at Allen’s View or sanding and painting benches for the Town Council. (Another of them volunteers with electrical repairs at Tenby’s monthly Repair Café).

The classes run by Anne Draper on Wednesdays (2pm-4pm) at the Community Learning Centre teach life skills to adults with learning disabilities and/or autism. These, combined with literacy and numeracy evening classes, prompted one of the Tenby Project service users to declare: “I never went to school, but now I go to college.”

A ‘Warm Room’ session on Fridays has turned into a place for cookery and craft for wellbeing. It attracts a wide age range, from young to 95 years.

With the Easter Ball on Thursday, April 2, The Tenby Project starts an exciting new season of evening events in a throwback to the Gateway Club parties.

From 5pm until 9pm, at Tenby Rugby Club, Upper Frog Street, there’ll be party food, drinks available and a disco to dance to. The venue is fully accessible for wheelchair users.

Admission to the ball, open to all adults with additional needs, their friends and family, is £3 with optional fancy dress.

There are plans to hold similar events to mark summer, Hallowe’en and Christmas.
