Everything changes and most alarmingly that includes us - our bodies and our minds. These changes are inevitable, but their effects, and for some fear of these transformations, can be mitigated by knowledge and acceptance.

This month we are joined by Sarah Ballers who is the Director of Nursing and Quality for East Berkshire’s Clinical Commissioning Group and has worked in the NHS for nearly thirty years, the majority of which has been in Berkshire. She will examine the ‘not so Golden Years’.

And, if the weather stays lovely we’ll picnic in Forbury Gardens after, about 13:15.

Then add some great songs, sung with The Word Of Bob, and all the other fun things that make a Sunday Assembly.

Doors open at 30 mins before the Assembly starting. The best way to meet new people is to come early.
