In the course of the last century, the RCC has evolved and focuses on many current day issues such as fuel poverty and mental health. As we celebrate a centenary of the charity we are thrilled to announce the Centenary Award 2024 coming in October.

With so many events happening in Smeeton Westerby over the Christmas period, we ended up with a relaxing and quiet January. However, The Kings Head came up trumps with their Burns’ Night Supper on Thursday 25 January where a three course meal was served, the main dish naturally being haggis, neeps and tatties with whisky sauce. There was a variety of whiskies to wash everything down with. Not surprisingly, a great time was had by all.

This month we are announcing the launch of a new social games group. It is run by the Local Area Coordinator, Amy. The first session will take place on the 6 February. Thereafter it will be held on the first and third Tuesday of the month for a couple of hours. It’s a free, friendly group for anyone who would like to meet new people in a relaxed environment. Bring your favourite games to play with others. There’s no need to book, you can just turn up.

The Share the Road campaign focuses on anyone who uses the roads and encourages everyone to treat each other respectfully.
