🎉AMAZING NEWS, WE DID IT! Thanks to our amazing community, Reach’s Big Give Christmas Challenge for Let’s Create has achieved the target. Together we raised over £50,000 to deliver more creative opportunities for adults with learning disabilities across Nottinghamshire.

Your support means popular courses like art, photography, dance and drama will be delivered, new client‑led sessions developed, exhibitions, performances and arts day trips. Thank you for helping people with learning disabilities to explore new things, feel confident, connected and proud of what they achieve. Thanks to everyone who supported our Christmas Challenge, we’re finishing the year with Christmas celebrations and ringing in 2026 on a high.

There are just 24 hours left to have your gift doubled for our Let’s Create appeal. Don't miss your chance to have your donation to our Let's Create appeal doubled, every pound counts!
As Becca, Reach Newark Tutor, says: “People with learning disabilities are seven times as likely to experience loneliness and are at higher risk of social isolation, low self-esteem and low confidence. Being creative is so important for building self-esteem, developing teamwork skills and finding a passion.”

Thanks so much to anyone who has already donated and helped raise over £30,000 so far. But, that means we still need your help to unlock the remaining £10,000 of match-funding.

Your support will fund creative courses like singing, crafts, woodwork, dance and drama. These activities help over 200 adults with learning disabilities feel healthier, happier and more connected.

Chelsea recently travelled to Leeds for a NHS Learning Disability and Autism Advisory Group meeting. The meeting objective was sharing feedback on two important initiatives: STOMP (Stop the Over Medication of People with a Learning Disability, Autism or both) and STAMP (Supporting Treatment and Appropriate Medication in Paediatrics).

Chelsea joined the NHS' group in January and regularly takes part in online meetings and projects, but this was her first in-person meeting. Supported by Kay, our Voice and Participation Project Worker, Chelsea enjoyed the experience – especially travelling by train, something she hasn’t done much before!

We’re so proud of Chelsea and the rest of our Voice and Participation group for making sure the voices of people with learning disabilities are heard.

Reach Newark had a brilliant time exploring art and culture with a Rangoli Tuff Tray activity.
You can help us offer more creative opportunities by supporting our Let's Create project. Every donation made this week will be doubled! Activities like this help people express themselves, build confidence and everyone loved creating their own patterns together.

🎉 You can double your impact at Reach NOW! The Big Give Christmas Challenge starts TODAY — and every donation you make will be DOUBLED until midday on Tuesday 9 December (or until our match-funding pot runs out).

This year, we’re fundraising for Let’s Create! — a project bringing creative courses like singing, crafts, woodwork, dance and drama to over 200 adults with learning disabilities. These activities help people gain confidence, learn new skills and, as Kerry says, have “fun being with friends.”
