Last week our members took part in their assessments with Wi******er Boxing Club - Prodigy Sport Academy CIC🥊

Our boxing coaches Alex and Glyn had this to say:

'A fabulous effort by all the folks. Really great to see them moving about so well and using the techniques'

'They all took it so seriously and worked hard. They have come so far'

Well done to all that took part, you should all feel very proud of the hard work you have been putting in 🏆

Samba joined our Go Connect session for a spot of lunch in The Arc, Wi******er today.

She requested a lettuce leaf sandwich minus the bread, hope that's nutritious enough Marwell Wildlife?

What a lovely Friday guest for our members 😍

As part of our Go Us session about where to go for support and help out in the community, a small group braved the cold for a trail around Wi******er ending in a hot drink 🫖☕️

We met with lots of friendly people at Wi******er Police station, the job centre, Wi******er City Council, Wi******er District Citizens Advice and Wi******er tourist information.

It's always good to know where you can get help and advice 👍

Today is World Down Syndrome Day🎉 An annual celebration to recognise and support people with Down syndrome as valued members of families, workplaces, schools, and communities.

We have made a kindness chain with ways to make people feel less lonely and been decorating (and wearing!) odd socks 🧦

Many adults with learning disabilities experience loneliness. Opportunities to meet others, develop independence and be active members of the community are not always easy to access. Wi******er Go LD exists to change that. And a gift in your Will, no matter the size, can help secure that future.

Our Quiz Night raised an incredible £3,000! 🌟

The Mayor of Wi******er said 💬

It was lovely to see such a great turnout and a fantastic community spirit in support of the important work of Wi******er Go LD.

Raising over £1,000 from raffle alone on the night is a tremendous achievement and a real testament to the generosity of everyone involved.

Jamie Guerrier and his son Joseph did a splendid job running the quiz, and the whole evening was full of fun and friendly competition.

👏Thank you to everyone who donated prizes, purchased raffle tickets, and the 80+ people who bought a table and drinks on the night - your support is hugely appreciated.
