We are always encouraging staff, clients and the wider community to knit squares to make up blankets for people in poor countries.  This will help them to keep warm.  Thank you to those who have already contributed!

Responding to the upset of how adults with disabilities have stopped going to their usual day care/work placements because of they way they are now funded, we have, with great success set up a 'Get together' club on a Wednesday afternoon.  Each person brings their lunch to the club and for £3 are entertained and encouraged to join in with a variety of activities.  We are currently delivering these sessions at  'Bridge House' in East Cowes.  Each care home supply a carer to attend to any personal care needs and to be on hand if any of their residents have a problem. 

To keep these sessions viable we are asking for the general public to help us out by donating, tea, coffee, sugar, hot chocolate, squash, biscuits and any arts and crafts that they feel would be appropriate.  We also do fund raising events to raise awareness of the good work we do for our lovely friends.

Update on the Mock wedding for the Wednesday club we run.

We all had a fantastic afternoon - do you know Elvis was in the building! Our lovely brides, grooms, page boy and bridesmaid were dressed beautifully.  A massive thanks goes to the individual homes for their efforts in making this a day to remember for all concerned....including our very own Reverend Andrew Wright.  Such a talented man! Please view the photo gallery for a look at what we got upto!

I can't tell you how excited the whole team at Community Spirited get on a Wednesday afternoon. We receive so much job satisfaction out of these sessions ourselves as well as the members who join us on a weekly basis.
