2nd Wideopen will be participating in our Community Impact Month throughout May!

This year, our focus is on Understanding DEMENTIA, aiming to make Wideopen a 'Dementia Friendly' Community through our efforts to spread awareness of this issue and help the community to support those living with Dementia.
 

All sections will be involved in this important project, and we have lots of exciting sessions and activities planned to help us fullfil our Promise to Change the World!
 

As we are all aware, Helping Others remains one of our fundamentals in Scouting so watch this space!
