Painting, drawing, mixed media, clay available in a supportive environment. An opportunity to build a body of work

Welcome to our inclusive community Lin! Do have a look around the site, and check back when you're looking for somewhere new to go as we're always adding new venues, activities and groups. If you use Facebook you can also join our Facebook group 'You're Welcome Gloucestershire - An Inclusive Community' to chat with others looking for things to do in Gloucestershire.

Hello and welcome. We hope you find some useful ideas of things to do and places to go. And we're always keen for more conversation starts so feel free to ask in the forum about interests and activities you are looking for. Or tell us about something you've been to in Gloucestershire that was welcoming and inclusive.

Hi John. Great to hear from you and welcome to You're Welcome! Good on you for keeping things going at this strange time. What would we do without Zoom? We'd love you to add CFS to You're Welcome; you can do this by signing them up as an organisation. You can then list them in the Things to Do section and each event you run on the Events pages. We're on hand to help with any questions you might have.

I expect there are people with many more worries at this time.

Hi Alex. It's great to have you onboard and thanks for starting this post. There are many people who are in a similar position as you in terms of looking for new ways to get out and have fun with the family. Have a look at our Events and Things to Do pages and see if anything takes your fancy. There's an online quiz tomorrow afternoon, a creative writing workshop on Wednesday evening and some laughter yoga coming up.

I loved Phantom of the Opera!

Ooh maybe this is a good excuse for me to now get Disney plus and watch the final film again, which only came out about 3 weeks ago!

Definitely! There is so much good stuff on there now including loads of new Star Wars series about the Clone Wars and The Mandalorian. I can't keep up but my teenager daughter says they new series are all brilliant.

Decided to watch the prequel series this weekend, and have just watched episode 1! A good way to spend a weekend afternoon! I won't have Disney for long so I'm hoping to do the whole saga in the next few weeks...

InCommon, which brings generations together, is sharing some games and activities around a different theme that families can try with older friends and relatives over the phone or video call. All the activities so far are available here. https://www.incommonliving.com/buddies-activities

Hi Philip. Thanks for letting us know about this. Do you think you could let Gloucestershire Cancer Exercise know about our new site? It would be great if they signed up as an organisation to promote what they're doing. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks Megan - Cancer Exercise is really just me and one other at the mo - we are growing it with local authorities, Macmillian and others

I agree Cirencester is a beautiful town with lots to see and do. While we have to stay at home it has been lovely to see photographs taken around different towns while they're quiet. Ian Lloyd Graham is a photographer who shares lots of photos of Cirencester on Facebook and also on his Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/149388693@N08/

I totally agree, loving the photos, I am still working I walk to work and as it is more quieter I love hearing the different birds, stay safe x

I'm on the mum's side on this one! 'Always look on the bright side of life....'
I think it annoys my kids too haha.

Thoroughly enjoyable story, thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for listening. Glad you liked it. I thought Jacob read it really well.
