Snack, Chat and Reminisce was an event supported and funded by LinkAge Network that started the celebrations of Sea Mills 100th birthday. The event saw 52 people attend to share photographs and stories about their lives in Sea Mills, and meet neighbours and friends who they hadn’t seen for years.
In early 2018 BAB and LinkAge Network worked together to run a series of trainings for staff and volunteers in BAB-funded projects.
