This evening, we showcased some of the new music we have been learning this half term, to a very warm and receptive audience. They were so impressed with the progress that everyone has made. Music Man members presented each number, and then everyone performed with a confidence that grows week by week. Nicky was so proud, and invited everyone to take bow at the end. The audience responded with generous and very well deserved applause. Supported by the People's Postcode Lottery

Who knew our members were such talented actors? Tonight’s game of charades at Side by Side was such fun! We were all thrilled at the inventive and dramatic performances. Everyone really gave it their all! Between the acting and guessing, we celebrated Jamie and Emma’s birthdays with cupcakes (thanks Jamie! ) and a group singalong. We finished the night with Hangman, where Noah proved to be the master of words.   #sidebyside   #mencap   #lovewhatwedo   #friendsareforever   #br

Locked in? No problem! Our OUR CHOICE crew headed to Bishop’s Stortford on Friday for an epic Escape Room challenge. New sights, new sounds, and some seriously tricky puzzles—but our group took it all in their stride. Watching everyone work together and step outside their comfort zones was the best part of the trip. Proof that when you give our lovely members the opportunity to try something new, they’ll always surprise you! Supported by Saffron Walden Golf Club , Lions Clubs
