| Latest news and updates from Qube
Hello from us all at Qube...
In line with the latest government announcement, we will be remaining closed for a little while longer. However, we really hope to be able to open our doors to you all in the near future. Our team is here working behind the scenes and at home so please feel free to call or email us if we can help with anything.
Dial-a-Ride continues to operate for those who struggle with access to transport. You can call them directly on 01691 671571 for more information on memberships or to make a booking. Our Winter Support Service in partnership with Age UK and Shropshire Council finishes at the end of March. This was part of a Shropshire wide project. We have supported 24 Oswestry people with a hot meal service, shopping or telephone befriending for the past six months. All of them will continue to receive support after the end of March if they require it through our other funding streams.
We've added lots of new content online! You can now see three new online exhibitions on our website and a range of downloadable tutorials and activity packs, commissioned especially for Qube by creative practitioners.
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.

The census is a survey that happens every 10 years and gives a picture of all the people and households in England and Wales. By taking part you'll help make sure our community gets the services it needs. To ensure money is spent where it's most needed, it's vital that the census counts everyone.
