News from: Reading Voluntary Action
Many of you know that RVA is moving this month due to the planned relocation of Central Library. The library has been home to RVA for 10 years and we have hosted countless events, training sessions, appointments and health check sessions there. We are now excited to be moving to offices at RISC and you can find the details of our new location here.
As part of the move, we have some office furniture and equipment on offer, for free, to community groups and charities in Reading. Items must be collected by 31 July – see here in case there is anything you can make use of.
Community Wellness Outreach sessions: Health checks will run on Thursdays at the Library until the end of July. We are currently looking for a new town centre location for these, so if you can help with this, please let us know! (Sessions in community venues across the town continue – more information here).
