Bank building a costings dossier was
produced. Due to the high refurbishment
costs, failing health of one trustee and loss
of another, taking on the fundraising work
and new building is now deemed a step too
far for the remaining trustees.
The trial period for the Reminiscence Café in
the ABD Centre (local community centre)
was a success. It is now called “Thursday
Lunch Club” and operates out of the ABD
Centre every Thursday.
We moved out of our Market St office into a
small office housed in the ABD Centre,
which is more cost effective and is run by
one of our trustees Monday – Friday, looking
after the day to day needs of the charity,
fundraising, volunteers etc. and running the
Thursday Lunch Club.| |Statement confirming

the Reminiscence Café, it provides activities
and safe spaces for those living with
dementia and their carers and those who are
socially isolated but now from a new venue.
The move to this new venue has raised our
profile and enabled easier communication

organisations.
The new venue will allow us to realise some
of the plans we had for the CAST HQ in the
old Nat West building and so enable us to
increase our offer to the Bacup and
Rossendale community.|| |---|---|---|---| ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |
