ABOUT CPC
We are likeminded people that feel that unless we are actively involved in our own destiny we can do little
to complain. The ability to have our say and effect change is in our hands. Our meetings are friendly, warm and welcoming and we encourage everyone to have a voice. Everyone’s opinion is valued. Members can be as active and supportive as they wish to be, from attending meeting, serving on the committee, ad hoc committees, helping out at events or by just attending trips, concerts etc. and supporting us. We also try to engage in activities which avoid social isolation and get people out of their homes.
