A huge thank you to everyone at Noquet Building Services Ltd for hosting their incredible Charity Ball and raising over £11,000 to support our work with local people with learning disabilities.

The evening was truly fantastic, and we are so grateful for the generosity and support shown by everyone involved. Funds raised will help us continue supporting people with learning disabilities to live happier, healthier and more independent lives in their local communities.

A special thank you goes to the team behind the event for all the planning, hard work and dedication that made the night such a success. We'd also like to thank the local businesses and individuals who donated prizes, sponsored the event and purchased tables.

We simply couldn't do what we do without the support of our amazing community. Thank you all for making this such a memorable and impactful evening.

What an event!

🍂 What better way to enjoy autumn than a trip to the pumpkin patch?

Reach Newark's Out and About group teamed up with Flower Pod Newark for a visit to Nottinghamshire 'Pick Your Own' Pumpkins in Oxton. We enjoyed a tractor ride around the farm before relaxing with coffee and cake. 🎃

🚣‍♀️ What a day on the water! 💙

One of the highlights of our Lake District holiday had to be canoeing on beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake. With two groups heading out on Sunday, both our morning and afternoon paddlers were treated to calm waters, stunning scenery and picture-perfect views in every direction. 🌿⛰️

Community Values

We believe people can do more together than alone and that each of us plays an important role in helping to create a safe and respectful community. So, we’ve laid out a set of principles for us to follow on this Page:

Let’s celebrate the things that bring us together.

Let’s choose to treat each other like neighbors rather than strangers.

Let’s respect individuality and welcome diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

Let’s assume people mean well.

Our moderators are here for the community to uphold these values every day.

A big thank you to Gemma from Thistle and Sketch for leading a lovely, relaxed evening of painting for our family carers. 🎨✨

Organised by Sarah Wagstaff, our Carers Manager, the session was a wonderful opportunity for carers to take some time for themselves, switch off from day-to-day pressures and be fully present in the moment.

As well as getting creative, carers had the chance to relax, unwind and connect with others who understand the experiences and challenges of caring for a loved one with a learning disability.

If you'd like to hear about future carers events and activities, we'd love to welcome you to our carers community, just send us a message! 💜
