Peter's latest venture was a curry night at the North Street India Restaurant in Sudbury in aid of his chosen charities. A good number of Babergh members, guests and Babergh officers sat down to a delicious meal which was very cheerfully served by the restaurant staff. It was good to catch up with a number of old friends and also to meet some of the new councillors who were not members of the council during my time there.
Peter has chosen some small local causes to be his charities in his year as Chairman.
The first one is the Age UK Chilton Club, a specialist day club for those affected by dementia. The club allows those with memory problems the chance to mix with others, have a hot meal and participate in creative activities. It also offers much needed respite for the carers of the club's members.
Peter's second choice is the Sudbury Gateway Club, a social and leisure club for adults with learning disabilities which facilitates a number of activities in a safe and fun environment.
Peter says that he is hoping to raise as much money as possible for these two good causes during his year as Chairman of the council. I understand that he will be holding a Christmas Carol Concert in December.
