This month we welcome volunteers from London Search and Rescue. It website tells us: 'London Search and Rescue supports the emergency services in the search for vulnerable missing people across London. We are volunteer-led, self-funded, and operate 24/7, in all weathers. We combine specialist training with compassion to help bring people home. From search technicians to support volunteers, we are united by a shared purpose: to serve our communities when it matters most.'                  

Monthly coffee and catch-up – Young V&A

Friday 23rd January, meet between 10.30 and 11.00

A return to an old favourite, the café at the former Museum of Childhood. The museum is relatively easy to access for all our members: nearest tube Bethnal Green or buses along Cambridge Heath Road.
