Council Tax on Accommodation
by Jane Keay Sept. 23, 2024

Sept. 23, 2024

Hello Warden and Resident Friends, Here at Watford I pay the Council Tax, it amounts to £135 a month. Also the Meeting House uses my small landfill waste bin collected every fortnight. I must admit it’s quite a pressure to keep the rubbish down to a minimum. I spend my time constantly reminding the user groups to re-cycle. It comes with the job I guess ! But this is another subject for another time. Jane Keay Warden Watford Quaker Meeting House WD17 4QB

Supporting local community groups to have a break away in the Lake District
by Rookhow Sept. 19, 2024

Sept. 19, 2024

Hi [image: Sanctuary Cookalongs Aug 2024 1 T.jpg] As you may know, *Rookhow* <https://rookhow.org.uk/charitable-work> subsidises stays for community groups through its Retreat Away scheme. Recently 2 local Quaker Meeting have also matched this funding by providing costs towards accommodation, food and transport. [image: LMA 2023 2T.jpg] I am writing to see if you have contact with any local groups who might be interested in staying at Rookhow and applying to the scheme- perhaps with your local Meeting's support too. The feedback we have had from groups has been overwhelmingly positive, with many people saying how much they have benefited from a break away and having recovery time in nature. A message of thanks from the group leader of Sanctuary Cooklaongs who benefitted from a Retreat Away Fund grant and also the support of their local Meeting in Preston: "Quakers have kindly sponsored three nights at Rookhow for three Sanctuary Cookalongs families to have a restful retreat in the school summer holidays. Coming from a war-torn country and experiencing trauma can have long-lasting effects, but having an opportunity to start a new life with new prospects in a new country has its challenges too. Thanks to Rookhow and Preston Quakers for enabling us to have a trip away from the stresses of everyday city life!" Preston Quaker Meeting also said they welcomed the opportunity to extend its commitment to support good inter-faith relationships in the city.” The next deadline is *1st October*. I have attached an application form and more details. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss a specific group or have any questions. In Friendship, Sue *Sue Nicholls (she/her)* *Rookhow Development Manager* *Rookhow phone number: 07377 971783* Email: contactrookhow(a)gmail.com Website: rookhow.org.uk Donations link: DONATE TO ROOKHOW <https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/14988> *I work part time (25 hour per week) flexi-time Monday-Friday.* *Rookhow is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation: Charity No 1188409. **We put 5% of our bookings income into subsidising stays for community groups. **Rookhow is a Quaker Recognised Body.* [image: Rookhow logo.png] *Rookhow mailing list & GDPR* If you wish to unsubscribe from these emails at any time, please let me know and I'll take you off the list.
