The Romsey Opportunity Group has been
established in Romsey for more than 40 years. They provide support
and help to under school age children who have been identified as
having special needs. The group meet twice weekly in the Appletree
Centre, behind the library, where with support from appropriate
therapists, the volunteers are able to encourage the children to
start on the road to reach their full potential.
Romsey District Scouts held a Christmas
event in December (in lieu of a carol service - pictures here) and donations were
requested for refreshments etc. Over £100 was raised and this has
now been donated to the Opportunity Group to help support them in
their very valuable work. David Sutton (Vice President of Romsey
Scouts) made the presentation to Lyn Bird, ROG Family Co-ordinator.
A picture of the St. George's Banner carried in Romsey Abbey yesterday, if anyone else has photographs from the St. George's day parade that they don't mind going public (i.e. children or adults have given their permission) please can they send to romseywoodsmoke@googlemail.com Many thanks.
