So, what happens now?
Well, we start all over again! The Phase 1 group may have
moved in but Phase 2 of the village is still a work in progress, so
the Friends group will continue to meet on Tuesday afternoons, at
Heron Lodge, Bradwell Road, Loughton Lodge, Milton Keynes,
MK8 9AA.
You'll get information about the moving in process and the
development of Phase 2 of Shenley Wood Village.
We have an action-packed programme as always, including
talks, quizzes and a positive approach to well-being, with Jumping
Jacks keeping us on our toes, not to mention a laughter workshop
that comes highly recommended.
Remember, Friends meetings are open to everyone aged 55+ who
would like to make new friends, enjoy an afternoon of
activities and entertainment but most of all, have some
FUN!
So if you know of anyone who would benefit
from joining us on a Tuesday afternoon, bring them
along!
To check times and the location in Shenley Wood please phone the
Village Team on 01908 340 890. Or email lauren.mcmillan@extracare.org.uk.
If you'd like to join in with activities at Shenley Wood Village
(even if you're not thinking about moving in), contact Lauren for a
Friends application form.

In a nutshell
Arthur and Vera Morton (pictured laying the Village
Foundation Stone): "We go to the Friends Club which is really
helpful," says Arthur. "I get a feel for ExtraCare, help influence
the new Village and support the community."
Vera adds: "We come most weeks and meet new people; there's
a strong social bond already - and it's so welcoming."
