🌟 Celebrating Our Community’s Heritage! 🌟

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to a talented member of our community for sharing their incredible model of Chesham High Street from the 1950s to 70s. This stunning representation not only showcases the charm of our past but also reminds us of the vibrant community that has shaped our history.

As we admire this model, let’s reflect on the stories, the people, and the spirit of Chesham that have made it the beautiful place we call home. Come to see it on display at Chapter Two for a limited time! 

Let’s continue to celebrate the unique character of Chesham! 🏘️❤️

As we celebrate National Volunteers' Week, we want to extend our deepest thanks to the incredible volunteers at Chapter Two.

Every book sorted, every shelf stocked, every customer welcomed, and every hour generously given helps support the vital work of the Hospice of St Francis. Your dedication transforms a community bookshop into something much more than a place to buy books, it becomes a place of purpose, connection, and compassion.

Through your time, enthusiasm, and commitment, you help raise essential funds that enable the Hospice of St Francis to provide outstanding care and support to local people and their families when they need it most.

Thank you for everything you do. Your kindness turns pages into possibilities and makes a lasting difference in our community every single day.

Happy National Volunteers' Week from all of us at Chapter Two. 📚💙

Yesterday at Chapter Two, we celebrated Dying Matters Week by hosting Amy, the occupational therapist at the Hospice of St Francis, who works in the local community helping patients make the most of their lives. Amy has a wonderful presence, and just being in her company is a boost.

In the evening, we held an event on writing a personal memoir featuring two superb speakers. Barbara Altounyan is the founder of the Charity ‘Stories For Life’ (http://www.storiesforlife.co.uk), which supports and encourages people to record their life stories. Barbara gave us some examples of how this process has transformed individuals and families by preserving wisdom and truths previously untapped.

We were also lucky to be joined by renowned memoirist Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of ‘Write It All Down’ and ‘The Last Act of Love’. Cathy talked us through how to tell our own story; she is a warm and inspiring guide who shared memorable advice.

A special thank you to Dr Lyn Jenkins of Chiltern Compass for hosting the event with his usual flair and enthusiasm. It was a special evening, enjoyed by all present.
