We got funding from the Mencap Together Fund to run Active Sessions at Club at Foxash. Some of the sessions will be lead by qualified coaches. Here are some photos from the first session where Matt from Therapy Gym lead us through a warm up first, then exercises, including squats.
On Tuesday 21st February 2023 the first Roy Clarke Award Scheme Certificates were presented to members who attended our Songwriting Courses. They can use the Certificate towards their Skills Badge if they want to. Well done everyone. Go to our Songwriting page to see a video of the event.
As ever, thank you to the Ashley Family Foundation for the grant that made our songwriting courses possible.
We will be holding our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Tuesday 15th November 2022 at 7.30pm at Kingsland Church.

2022 marks 70 years since Her Majesty The Queen ascended the throne, which makes it her Platinum Jubilee. 1st June 2022 is also 25 years since we became a Charity, making it our Silver Jubilee. To celebrate these two events we want to hold an exhibition called Our Jubilees and now, thanks to funding from the Let's Create Jubilee Fund, we can go ahead.
Hooray - and thank you Arts Council England.
