Today is World Autism Acceptance Day, kicking off World Autism Acceptance Month which runs until the end of April. It is a time to come together, raise awareness, and foster understanding for the autistic community, and this year the National Autistic Society are focusing on the theme of ‘acceptance at work’.

April is National Pet Month. Pets play a significant role in our lives, providing companionship, a purpose to get up in the morning, and someone to talk to.

NHS Gloucestershire supports the shared use of the information bus to aid active community involvement across Gloucestershire. Heather will be on the bus on 8th April.

Sustainable Wantage have got together with the Down to Earth Community Café to connect with local people wanting to learn some skills and enjoy social time through food.

We had a fantastic time at the Cardiff jobs fair on 6th February, chatting about opportunities and connecting with those looking to start or grow their own micro-enterprises.

If you are you concerned about the rising cost of living, or need more information or advice, Age UK Gloucestershire’s team is here to support you at their drop-in sessions.

This December, the Cardiff Development Programme Christmas social brought together a wonderful mix of new and existing micro-enterprise leaders and partners for an evening of connection, inspiration, and festive cheer.

The holiday season has arrived, and there’s no better place to soak up the holiday cheer than Wrexham! As 2025 approaches, can you see yourself creating a business to serve your local community? Community Catalysts can help you to do just this!

We held our latest community event at St Albans Church in Watchfield. There were nine local organisations represented with a wide range of activities, support, resources, and information available.

Looking for a new job after a career break, seeking a career change, or wanting to work for an age-friendly employer? Or thinking about volunteering in your community?

As we move into the colder months and the nights grow longer, feelings of isolation can start to set in. Attending community events during this time can be a great way to stay connected and help reduce those feelings of loneliness.

We hosted the latest community event in Wantage on Wednesday 11th September at the Down to Earth Café.
