What an incredible evening our wonderful performers gave us. Fifteen inspirational performances by soloists, duets and trios. Everyone put their hearts and souls into their own performance, and then supported their friends. The rapturous applause rang out, time and time again, as each performance drew to a close. To each and every Music Man Member….we are so proud of you all. Thank you to our fabulous judges Patrick Draper, Chair of Saffron Walden Mencap Society and Julia Att

Our watching and listening skills have improved so much. They help us to know when to play our instruments, and when to use our voices. They also let us know when not to use them!! Watching and listening is helping us to create beautiful sounds and music. Music is magic in so many ways!

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

What a debut! Last night marked the very first outing for ‘Our Choice Club’ and we couldn’t have asked for a better start. ❤️ Our members headed out for a night of bowling, arcades, and great food. It wasn’t just about the scores; it was about the excellent team effort and the relaxed, happy atmosphere everyone created. We’ve officially given the food facilities a “Very Good” rating, and the arcade games brought out everyone’s inner child! It’s all about feeling at ease, maki
