SEACC and Hammersmith & Fulham Council (LBHF) are thrilled to be launching the Open Doors Programme, an employment programme for Learning Disabled H&F residents.

The programme will offer 9 months paid employment in the Walnut Tree Cafe, with job coach support and a training curriculum provided for one Learning Disabled candidate in its first year. At the end of the programme, SEACC and LBHF will work to help place the candidate in a permanent hospitality and will then recruit a second candidate for year 2 of the programme.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in paid employment in a fun, safe and welcoming environment in Fulham, then come along to one of our open days at the Walnut Tree Cafe on either 11 or 14 September between 10am-3pm. The open days will be a chance to have a look around the cafe, meet some of the current staff and hear more about the Open Doors programme. Following the open days, interested candidates will be invited to an informal interview ahead of one candidate being offered the role for year 1.

Half Cut Theatre are delighted to bring you this brand new adaptation of
some of the most romantic, ridiculous and raucous stories you’ve ever
pretended to have read. Never content with the easy life, they take their
loving but disarmingly sharp hatchet to one of the seminal works of
English Literature: Geoffrey Chaucer’s six-hundred-year-old-snapshot-of mediaeval-society-in-all-its-filth-and-glory, ‘The Canterbury Tales’.

All good stories start down the pub, and this one is no different. A
mismatched group of travellers ready themselves for a gruelling journey.
Some have an axe to grind but all have a tale to tell. Can Harry, behind
the bar at The Tabard Inn, keep control? What secrets is the Wife of Bath
about to spill? Are we ready for Tim Pardoner’s latest get rich quick
scheme? And will anybody actually make it to Canterbury? There’s only
one way to find out…

Fresh from delighting audiences with their ‘sparky, funny, beautifully acted’
Much Ado About Nothing (Susan Elkin, ****) and then utterly terrifying
them before thankfully uplifting them with their ‘omninous… uncanny’ and
‘very effective’ A Christmas Carol (StageTalk Magazine, ****), Half Cut
Theatre are thrilled to be hitting the road once again!

Packed full of uncontrollable laughs and uncontrollable loves, stunning
original music and stunning original mayhem, Half Cut bring their
trademark joy to this anarchic journey which will delight young and old
alike.

4- 7 PM, Traditional Chinese New Year experience – dumpling making demonstration, Walnut Tree Cafe

Nothing symbolizes Chinese New Year more than dumpling-making, when the entire family or group pitches in to fold minced meat and vegetables into thin pastry skins for the soup pot. So why not come and see it for yourself as members of our Chinese community demonstrate their traditional New Year pastime, and you might even be lucky enough to enjoy the taste of a juicy Chinese “jao zi” dumpling or two.

Drop in, no booking necessary.

7 – 8 PM, Chinese New Year concert, Main Hall

To celebrate the Lunar Year of the Dragon, Sherry Music Academy will perform music from the four corners of China – Xinjiang in the west to Jiangsu in the east, Mongolia in the north to Hong Kong in the south – featuring Chinese traditional instruments and songs.
