Happy New Year from us all at Qube...
In line with government guidelines we have unfortunately had to close our doors again this month. However, our team is still working behind the scenes and at home so please feel free to call or email us if there is anything we can help with or if you do need to talk.
Dial-a-Ride and our community car service are still running for essential journeys. You can call them directly on 01691 671571 for more information or to make a booking. Our social groups are temporarily suspended but we are continuing to keep in touch with members over the phone and by sending newletters and activity packs.
Thank you to everyone who supported local artists makers by shopping in our Christmas Arts and Crafts exhibition! We still have a range of exhibitions online and will be adding more soon. You can still get involved too by adding works to our Creativity in Isolation online exhibition or by taking part in our latest 'Light' photography competition.
If you would like to speak to us about anything or think we may be able to help you or someone you know please get in touch. You can contact us on 01691 656882 or email info@qube-oca.org.uk.

Criminals are using the COVID-19 vaccine to target the public by tricking them to hand over money or financial details.
