What a great session we had this afternoon being shown how to make beeswax wraps by the lovely Joella from Eco Educate. A real hands on craft enjoyed by everyone. We're very pleased to be doing our bit to save cling film going into landfill by using these wraps instead, they're just made from 100% cotton cloth and hot beeswax. Thanks again Joella we enjoy learning from you and appreciate your visits! 😃

Darnley friends and guests recently had a wonderful mid-winter Christmas experience to banish away the winter blues. Enjoying a delicious afternoon tea, playing games, winning prizes and dancing whilst the lovely Wendy sang some great hits. A big thank you to all the staff and volunteers who helped make it a success, also to St Patrick's School for generously allowing us to use their hall. A Merry time was had by all 🎄😃

What a fabulous time we have had acknowledging all of our wonderful volunteers this week.

Once again thank you all so much for the kindness, time and empathy you give to The Darnley Club.

It has been said before, but we couldn't operate the way we do for our community without you all.

They go the extra mile to help create a warm, friendly atmosphere and a safe well run environment to be enjoyed by all. You are all absolute stars we wouldn't have such a fantastic club without you! THANK YOU 😍
