Remembrance Parade and Service - Nuneaton
2025-11-09 10:00 - 12:30 (Europe/London)
Remembrance Day parades are held in across the borough and the country, to remember and honour the service and sacrifice of those who have protected our country’s way of life.

The parades serve as a public acknowledgment of the immense loss experienced in wars and conflicts, and they honor the dead, celebrate the peace and freedoms enjoyed today, and acknowledge shared history.

They are held on the second Sunday of November closest to the end of the World War 1, which was 11th November, which is known as Armistice Day.

In Nuneaton – we will have the Salvation Army band playing in Riversley Park from 10:20am

The main parade will start 10:35am – taking the route of Coventry Road, Coton Road, Fusilier Louis Carter Drive and into Riversley Park for the Service and wreath laying. After the service the parade retraces it’s route back to the Town Hall and back into the town centre.

During the parade times – we will temporarily close roads on the route – please be patient and we’ll reopen them as soon as it’s safe to do so.

Organisational Excellence Webinar
2025-11-06 11:00 - 12:30 | Online Event
The workshop aims to inspire attendees to take action to progress their organisation towards excellence.
Many organisations are already on their journey to excellence – their best-practice has informed useful ‘models’, principles, methods and tools.
A few business sectors have led much of this development, but excellence offers so many benefits for all organisations… and yet misunderstanding remains in many places.
Register on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/organisational-excellence-webinar-tickets-1714062038699
All of these best practice ‘Excellence’ approaches are widely applicable in any organisation, and can deliver significant long-term benefits.
The workshop will provide key insights on ‘Organisation Excellence’ and challenge attendees to identify their next-steps to guide their organisation towards excellence.

But Kaz is hiding a secret of his own, arriving in the forest with another agenda and as the two get to know one another, passion begins to spark.

We’re thrilled to be hosting our first Repair Cafe on Saturday 18th October, which is International Repair Day!

Repair Cafes are a global movement of volunteers coming together to fix broken items, rather than throw them away. The idea is to promote sustainability and community. All for free.

‘What can I bring?’- anything you can carry! Think bikes, jewellery, clothing, small electrical items, toys, etc. All electrical repairs receive a PAT check and you’ll get advice from our repairers on how to do your own repairs!

If you have skills to share and are interested in volunteering for this or future Repair Cafes then get in touch with by emailing stephenjames.currie@hotmail.com
*Our repairers are skilled and experienced volunteers fixing for FREE, if they cannot fix an item they will advise you of other alternatives. Proper care and use of the item once it leaves the repair cafe is the responsibility of the owner and they are to take reasonable measures to ensure their own safety. Please note we are unable to repair microwaves
