The Shotley Peninsula Branch operates under the umbrella of the ESAB Head Office and was formed in June 2002 by Beverley, our District Community Worker aided by a small committee.
The aims and objectives of the branch are to provide a monthly social meeting for blind and partially sighted people living on the Shotley Peninsula. These meetings are generally held in the afternoon of the last Wednesday of each month at the Stutton Village Community Hall, commencing at 2pm and ending around 4pm. Light refreshments are provided.
At our regular meetings we have a speaker, musician or entertainer and the programme provides a mix of these to suit all tastes and interests. Each December, the meeting date is brought forward and a pre-Christmas lunch is provided together with some musical entertainment. During the Summer, we organise a coach outing and lunch. At every meeting it is customary to hold a raffle to help funds.
All events organised are free of any charge (other than the raffle) to members and carers, but donations are welcome, of course. Free transport can be arranged from most areas if required.
