| Latest news and updates from Qube
Hello from us all at Qube...
Following the latest government announcement we will unfortunately have to close our doors to the public from Thursday until the beginning of December. However, we will still be here working behind the scenes so please contact us if we can help you or someone you know.
Dial-a-Ride will still be operating on weekdays for essential journeys and medical appointments. You can call them directly on 01691 671571. Our social groups are temporarily suspended but we will continue to keep in touch with members over the phone. We are sending out newsletters and activity packs to help keep people informed with useful information and activities to do at home.
Our current Arts and Crafts exhibition is online. There is a great range of unique and handmade gift ideas from 40 incredibly talented artists and makers. Please support artists and makers and shop local for gifts wherever possible this year. By purchasing from this exhibition you are not only supporting local independent businesses, you are also helping Qube to continue our work with vulnerable members of the community. Click and collect is available and there are local delivery and postage options too!
Times are really tough for everyone right now so if you would like to speak to us about anything please get in touch. You can contact us on 01691 656882 or email info@qube-oca.org.uk.
