The next Community Breakfast takes place on Wednesday 24th March in Hall 2 at The Paddocks, Canvey Island. Guest speakers will be from Castle Point Crossroads and SEEVIC College plus a number of agencies will have information available about services available to the local community. Castle Point Crossroads are a local voluntary organisation providing a number of services for carers, young carers and families affected by autism. SEEVIC College are planning to open a vocational centre on the site currently occupied by Castle View School.
Guests will be able to spend some time meeting representatives of local service providers (voluntary and statutory) and enjoy a continental style buffet breakfast. This will be followed by presentations from the guest speakers.
The event runs from 9.30-11.30am and anyone wishing to attend is asked to advise CAVS to allow for sufficient catering to be provided. We are more than happy to welcome as many members of the public as possible so why not arrange with friends to come along.
