In January, we finally completed the buying of our building ‘The Base’
Great news we secured the charities forever home by purchasing our building we are all beyond proud of this achievement we also bought a new caravan for our members to use and have affordable holidays at Caister on Sea.
We had some great fundraising events. Ben jumped out of a plane and raised an incredible £1198. Laura and Becci abseiled 100m down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth raising an amazing £1100. Chris also took part in a colour run in aid of Kids in Action raising £1100. Well done to them all. They all had a fab time doing their challenges and we thank everyone who supported them.
We have held many Denise Newman evenings throughout the year which are increasingly popular. We have had some fun quiz nights at The Base with Craig from ‘Perfect Personalised Parties’ raising vital funds and having a great time and charity Bingo nights at Mecca Bingo and much more.
Our members have enjoyed fun days, discos, an annual prom, bowling nights, cinema evenings, bingo, and Christmas parties.
Many companies, choirs and individuals have supported us through the year holding their own fundraising events including cake sales, sponsored walks, singing, quizzes, raffles along with some fantastic donations of Christmas presents and Easter eggs for the children.
“We would like to say a huge thank you everyone who has “helped us to help them.”
Heres to 2024!!!!

Did you know that 2% of the UK population is born with a learning disability and that up to 18% of the population has some form of disability?
The terrible truth is that many people with disabilities are lonely, bullied, excluded and discriminated against – on top of the challenges they already face.
Imagine the toll that must take.
The service and facilities we provide make an enormous difference to the children and young people we work with. Not only does it give them access to the sort of social and leisure opportunities that most other children and young people enjoy, but it also helps them overcome the social isolation they often suffer from and the mental health and well-being problems that are associated with that. It also helps develop their social and communication skills, and for some of them make friends for the first time.
