THERE was coffee, café and music to enjoy as community group Reach Out held its latest event.
The organisation was formed in late 2019 to bring friends old and new together and strengthen the bond in local communities through socialising and enjoying refreshments and entertainment.
Since then, they have held several events and plan on organising many more in the coming months.
Their most recent event at Lido House in Grotton was a grand success, with delicious treats including scones, cake, tea, coffee and other goodies.
Organisers Glenn, Anna and Steve brought in local musician Dave Brown to entertain and he had the guests singing along. Cheryl Beardmore from ‘Let’s Piece It Together’ jigsaw exchange was again invited to join the event and brought along a collection of puzzles for people to swap and loan.
There was a large range of books available for a book-swap while great prizes were snapped up on the raffle.
Attendees were joined by a special guest – Porky Pie, a therapy rabbit owned by Dingo Endeavour as a part of her family of fostered animals, including eight guinea pigs and two dogs.
The rabbit was a highlight of the afternoon, with visitors stopping to admire and pet the adorable six-year-old, bringing smiles to many faces.

Look out for future Reach Out events or find out more on their Facebook page.
