As today is Safer Internet Day, a reminder of how important online safety is for everyone, it feels the right moment to share an update on a generous grant from Nottinghamshire Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.

Their grant is supporting the co-production of safeguarding training and the development of accessible resources. This includes a short animated film currently in very exciting previews, which we can't wait to share!

Could you take on a fun challenge this summer? We are looking for supporters to run the Inflatable 5K at Lincoln Showground on 6th June and raise funds for us.

Thank you!

A huge thank you to The Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club for raising an incredible £5,394 for Reach.

We are especially grateful to Men's Captain Graham, who chose Reach as his charity of the year and encouraged members to support in all sorts of ways, from donating at club events to taking on fundraising challenges around the course.

Thank you to every member who contributed. Your generosity helps us continue our vital work supporting people and families across Nottinghamshire. We could not do it without you.

As part of her PhD studies, Charlotte visited all our centres, joined in with projects, and even travelled with our Voice and Participation group to Liverpool for a Providers Unite rally. Through interviews, she has created a short film that gives adults with learning disabilities a platform to share what Reach means to them.

Thank you, Charlotte, for your dedication and creativity. You are welcome back any time!
