Everyone is warmly invited this Saturday for a special evening in David's memory.
Music and dancing were at the heart of what he loved, so they’ll be celebrating his life in a way that truly reflects his spirit.

David’s family would love for you to join them, and enjoy what promises to be a fantastic night together.

Any money raised during the event will go towards supporting Millie's Nightclub, helping to continue the joy that meant so much to David.

We hope to see you there 💛

💛 World Down’s Syndrome Awareness Day – 21st March 💛

This year’s theme, “Together Against Loneliness” – Belonging, Connection and Community, is something that really speaks to us.

Everyone deserves to feel that they belong — to feel welcomed, valued, included and part of something meaningful. For people with Down’s Syndrome, true belonging isn’t just about being present, it’s about being connected, heard and appreciated for who you are.

At Parchment Trust, community is at the heart of everything we do. We have the privilege of seeing every day how friendships grow, confidence builds and people thrive when they feel they genuinely belong. That sense of connection can make all the difference, not just to our members, but their families and our staff team 💛

Today is a reminder to reach out, include others, and continue nurturing spaces where no one feels alone. Together, we are always stronger.

🦷 World Oral Health Day – 20th March 🦷

As part of our health and wellbeing activities, some of our members joined an informative session on oral health recently. They learnt about keeping teeth healthy, the importance of brushing and flossing, and how to be more aware of sugar content in everyday foods.

Russell said: " I couldn't believe how much sugar is in a can of coke! The lady also told us that we need to brush our teeth softly...I am guilty of brushing them too hard, but I make sure to brush them twice a day"

A huge thank you to, Celine Woodthorpe from Dentaid, for delivering such a fun and useful session — your tips and advice were greatly appreciated!

Remembering David 💙

Just before Christmas, we very suddenly lost our dear friend David, and it’s hard to put into words just how much he meant to all of us at Parchment Trust.
David was part of the Co-op for 13 years. He wasn’t just a member, he was a presence… Loud, cheeky, full of life and never far from his friend’s side. If there was music playing, David was on the dance floor. No hesitation. No holding back. He absolutely loved it — and made sure everyone else knew he did too. You couldn’t help but smile and dance too, as his enthusiasm was unmatched! David never missed a ‘Hannah Boogie’ session or a night at Millie’s Nightclub.
He also loved his football, ‘DVD nights’ and especially our Christmas ‘lock-ins’. He brought energy, laughter and, quite often, his very clear opinions! David was kind and helpful, and he knew his own mind. He was authentic, unapologetically himself and you always knew where you stood with him, which are just some of the many things people loved.
David made the Co-op a louder, brighter and far more interesting place to be. We are so grateful for the time we shared together and for all the memories, especially those on the dance floor!
To David’s family — thank you for sharing David with us for so long. He was truly valued, and we are so privileged that he will always be part of our story.

Forever loved and forever missed 💙

Allotment and Front Garden Update.

Our members have been hard at work on the allotment and front garden at The Hub — clearing, improving and maintaining the spaces to get them looking their best.

From weeding and tidying to planting seeds and flowers, everyone has played a part. It’s been fantastic to see their commitment throughout the cold and wet weather and is even better now the sun is shining!

We’re looking forward to watching everything bloom over the coming weeks and will keep you updated on their progress 😀
