| Latest news and updates from Qube
Hello from us all at Qube...
We're very much looking forward to seeing you all again when it's safe for us to reopen. In the meantime, our team is still here 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 need to talk.
Our amazing volunteer drivers have recently been taking many of our members for essential journeys such as shopping and medical appointments, including vaccinations. If you're having trouble getting out and about at the moment you can call them directly on 01691 671571 for more information on memberships or to make a booking. Activity packs are still being sent out to over 50 people each week as well as hot meals and grocery boxes. Our activity packs and other creative resources are online and are free for anyone to use.
We've been adding more works to our Creativity in Isolation online exhibition. If you've been getting creative during lockdown we'd love to see your work. Send us a picture to art@qube-oca.org.uk and we'll add them to our online exhibition. There's also still time to get involved in our '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.
