A Memory Café is an opportunity for people with varying degrees of memory loss and their carers to get together for coffee and a chat. It is planned to open a Memory Café in Thornbury starting in March of this year. To run it successfully we need volunteers with patience, understanding and a sense of humour.

If you think you fit the bill and would be prepared to commit two hours on a Tuesday morning just once or twice a month, then contact Audrey on 01454 412619.

If you would like to come along to our a briefing and training session you can discover whether or not the task is for you, without making any commitment.

For further information, contact Audrey on 01454 412619 or just come along on 14th February.

For over 10 years, ngm has been running top quality arts and discipleship courses – this is your chance to come along and see what all the fuss is about!

NGM has a history of training artists and seeing them released into all that God has for them. Over the years people who have trained at NGM have gone into television presenting, bands and acts in the music scene around the UK, DJs travelling all round the world playing in clubs and writing music for games, films etc.

More recently one of our artists toured with the musical ‘Fame’, another with ‘Thriller Live’, one has just graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and 3 of those trained through NGM were in the band who played at the Royal wedding!

We also have trained numerous artists and worship leaders who have gone on to work within churches too. With a wealth of experience in developing artists and also mentoring and discipling them to help them prepare for the pressures they will face, if you are a young artist aged 17 to 25 then this is a great place to be!

Come and immerse yourself in the creative atmosphere of ngm for a morning: meet the tutors, explore our state-of-the-art complex, check out some of ngm’s top artists.

If you are a 17-25 year old dancer, singer, dj, technician, musician or communicator there will also be an opportunity to audition in the afternoon.

To attend the open day, book in now by emailing or calling 01454 414880. All welcome!

Worried about your son or daughter and drugs and alcohol? If so, you are not alone - it is one of the major worries faced by parents today. Come and find out some of the facts surrounding this issue from Sam Drew, who is part of South Gloucestershire’s Young People’s Drug and Alcohol Service. It will be part of an introduction to ‘How to Drug Proof Your Kids’.

This is an innovative and interactive course that will benefit every parent concerned about drugs, including alcohol. The course will take place over the following 5 Thursday afternoons, 1st–29th March inclusive, from 1-3pm. You can decide on February 23rd whether you want to continue with the whole course.

The course will be run by Bev Hope-Bell and Sally Heath who have both trained as accredited presenters of How to Drug Proof Your Kids. Bev, a father and grandfather, used to be a police officer and Sally, a mother of sons in their 20s, used to be a secondary school teacher and is still actively involved in youth work in Thornbury. We are convinced, from the evidence of those who have attended previous courses, that it is very helpful for parents in allaying fears and building real relationships with their children. It is aimed at parents who have children aged between 8 and 14 years old.

Parents attending will discover some of the facts about drug use in our community and learn strategies for communicating with their children and encouraging them to make informed choices about drug use. The good news is that you don’t have to become an expert on drugs to be aware of how your children might be at risk. We will tell you some of the facts about drug use, but more importantly we will help you to engage with your children, discuss drugs with them and give them the means to make sensible and informed choices. The course is free, although we will ask for a voluntary contribution of £10 for the parents’ handbook which goes with the course.

Places will be limited and can be booked by calling Sally on 01454 419574 or e-mail below. For more details visit the DPYK website below or contact Sally. How to Drug Proof Your Kids is a community based programme developed in conjunction with national charity Care for the Family and drugs education charity, Hope UK.
