A Note from Andrea
Hi, welcome to the very first my widowed friends newsletter! I'm Andrea. I founded mwf and I will write monthly newsletters to keep you in the loop, share some ideas, and tell you about what's happening across our growing community.
This first newsletter is right at the start of the network. Lots of posters have been sent out, adverts are starting and we have our first few members. Our Cornwall groups will start to meet soon, first the groups in the bigger towns, then the smaller locations. Before long we will all be drinking lots of coffee and tea, and chatting together, all over Cornwall.
Group News
We are starting groups in Bodmin, Bude, Callington, Cambourne, Falmouth, Hayle, Helston, Launceston, Liskeard, Newquay, Penryn, Penzance, Redruth, Saltash, St Austell, St Blazey, St Ives, Torpoint, Truro and Wadebridge. If you want a group somewhere else, then let us know.
We expect the groups in Camborne, Falmouth, Newquay, St Austell and Truro will start in October, possibly some more. Don't wait for a group to start before you join - join now and help us get going. Your subscription will last for a full year from the date your group starts to meet, so joining early won't cost you any extra, and it will help get the groups established faster!
Ways to Help
This month, we'd really appreciate your help with posters. If you have joined then in your welcome letter you will have received three posters. Please, please, put these up somewhere - maybe your local cafe, a supermarket, a local shop, or church - anywhere with a public noticeboard. The posters tell local widowed people about the groups. If you are super-keen to help get your group growing, then get in touch and we will gladly send some more posters.
Future Newsletters
In future mwf newsletters we will have some extra sections:
- An "outing of the month" - with suggestions for easy events that you could organise in your group.
- A "well-being corner" - with tips to improve wellbeing.

Andrea
