COFFEE & COMPUTERS @ Jacksons Lane
Feb 27 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

Need advice about what computer, laptop or tablet to buy?
Still grappling with how to use the one you have already?
Or just fancy coming along and having a play?

COFFEE & COMPUTERS IS FOR YOU

We hold informal one-to-one computer familiarisation sessions over a cup of coffee on the last Friday of the month.

No need to bring anything, just yourself.

“The computer has given me a new life” says 69 year old Coffee & Computers visitor. And the Government has just announced a major new initiative to get everyone over the age of 55 on to the Internet.

So if you are over 55 (or thereabouts) and the very mention of computers bring you out in a cold sweat, call Stuart on 020 8347 2411 or email kirstenhs2012@gmail.com (quoting Coffee & Computers) and give us an idea of what you want to know more about.

Or just come along for the coffee and have a dabble.

You’ll soon wonder how you ever lived without being wired!

We look forward to seeing you

Swish and Style @ Jacksons Lane
Mar 26 @ 12:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Tired of your t-shirts? Wish you had some different dresses? Save money by bringing along your unwanted (but wearable) clothes to our Swish and Style event and go home with a new-to-you outfit, all for free!

It’s simple. Have a clear out and bring good quality clothes to one of our seven events. For each item you bring, you get a token that you can exchange for another garment (maximum 10 items). Everything is free, everything is clean and everything will be re-worn and re-loved.

How it works

For the first hour (12.30 – 1.30), everyone is invited to drop off their clothes, shoes and accessories that they want to donate. Whilst we busily sort them into style and hang them on hangers, you’ll be free to check out the workshops – learning how to do simple fixes to your clothes and how to upcycle them into something completely different – a jumper becomes a hot water bottle cover, a treasured Babygro becomes a patchwork memory blanket and an old t-shirt becomes a bag. If you have any clothes that need a little TLC, bring them along and our seamstress can fix them for you for free while you wait.

The from 2pm until 3pm, you get to look through all the clothes and choose what you want. If you love it, take it. It’s first come, first served – but no elbows please!

What can you bring?

Please bring along:

  • Clean and wearable clothes, shoes and accessories
  • No damage, holes and stains
  • You can bring women’s, men’s, children’s and baby clothes
  • No underwear please, unless in sealed, unworn condition

Anything that we deem unacceptable will be given back to you and you will not be given a token. We have the right to turn away any item.

Please note only adults will be allowed at events. Parents with children under the age of 12 can bring them but they must remain under the parents’ supervision at all times.

Any clothes that are left over at the end of the event will be donated to the Salvation Army.
