Title: Help with Enquiry?
Post by: admin on February 20, 2012, 06:47:32 PM
I've received the following enquiry. Can anyone help provide an answer please?

"I moved to Marple a few years ago from London. My friends would love to visit me in the summer. The husband has macular degeneration and would not enjoy sightseeing so I was wondering if you could give me a list of local day centres or churches that would offer him a safe haven and lunch for one or two days during their visit."

Anything at Marple Senior Citizens hall? I was there yesterday with Dave Myers doing a talk and I noticed loads of coming and going - looked really good.

Not sure who to contact though.

I'll drop the query out via our mail list on the Marple Bridge Association - Churches Together probably know???

Come on people... someone wants to visit Marple... what have we got to offer!!

The safest haven is undoubtedly to enjoy a couple of pints in the Navigation and the let the worries of modern life fade away for an hour or two.... :D

The "Congos" on Hibbert Lane, (United Reform Church I think it's called these days) do a day centre on Wednesdays and/or Fridays and I believe there's something on at The Grove (Methodist chapel) on Church Lane. Don't know who you'd contact but the ministers in charge should be able to help.
