										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The TSB Bank have warned of an increase in &#8216;friendship fraud&#8217;, where fraudsters are targeting older people. The initial contact often seeks to exploit loneliness, and is frequently made via social media, with the scammer posing as a younger person. After gaining initial trust through daily messages, the fraudster starts to ask for money, giving reasons such as needing to pay for medical bills etc.</p>
<p>To stay safe online, be very suspicious of anyone unknown contacting you on social media and asking for money. If you are worried, talk to a friend or relative, or ring Age UK&#8217;s advice line on 0800 169 6565. The line is open seven days a week from 8am &#8211; 7pm.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Wesley Players will be staging The Book of Will by Lauren Gunderson, a moving drama inspired by true events.</p>
<p>A story of love, loss, and laughter as Henry, John, Alice, Elizabeth and Rebecca fight to preserve the works of their friend, William Shakespeare, before they are lost forever. Set in 1619 on London’s vibrant South Bank, they face fire, grief, empty purses and ruthless publishers, in a race to create the very first folio. Step back in time and witness the extraordinary effort that saved Shakespeare’s words and shaped the theatre we know today!</p>
<p>The performances will be held at Upminster Methodist Church, 10 Hall Lane, Upminster RM14 1AE, at 8pm on Thursday 14, Friday 15 and Saturday 16 May 2026, with a Matinee at 4pm on Saturday 16 May.</p>
<p>Tickets are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Online: £9 Adults (16+), £7 Conc and £5 Children</li>
<li>On door: £10 Adults (16+), £8 Conc and £6 Children</li>
<li>Free Senior tickets available (Donations Welcome).</li>
</ul>
<p>To book in advance visit <a href="https://wesley-players.com/"><strong>www.wesley-players.com</strong></a> , or you can pay by card/cash on the door. If you need to speak to the Box Office, text 07708 214 742.</p>
