What to expect

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Our group provides social opportunities on a Friday evening for young people with a disability:

Developing life skills
Providing social opportunities
Promoting wellbeing
Encouraging friendships
Supporting growth
Giving our members a voice to make a choice

We meet once a month in Fast Eddie's Bar, at Fairycroft House in Saffron Walden and then plan trips out during the following month. Individuals choose the activities they want to participate in, for example, bowling, going to the cinema, pub or restaurant for a meal, or perhaps just going for a walk. Activities are supported by experienced ‘Companions’.

GWOF is led by Cath Read and Dianne King and supported by Companions: Julie, Abby and Shanetell.
