Client Christmas lunch goes with a swing at Stanwick Lakes

Both clients and staff alike had a superb time at our annual Christmas lunch in December! We all enjoyed a relaxed two-course lunch together as well as a great laugh too.

We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to Irthlingborough town councillor, Sylvia Hobbs, for her very kind donation towards the event, as well as Jo Bird and the catering team at Stanwick Lakes, for making us feel so welcome. 

Our biggest Christmas coffee morning yet!

29/11/2018

 
What an incredible coffee morning we enjoyed on the 29th November! We were thrilled to welcome so many friendly faces to our centre, ranging from staff, clients and volunteers through to families, carers, community supporters and Irthlingborough residents! 

Our wonderful volunteers worked so hard making delicious cakes and treats, manning the hot drinks stand, making up hampers and running the raffle to name but a few things! We had some wonderful raffle prizes this year thanks to our friends at Morrisons and Tesco, whose goodies enabled us to put together some stunning hampers, perfect for Christmas. 

We were thrilled to have raised approximately £400 for our centre, all of which will be used to enrich and support the lives of those with ABI. Enormous thanks to all involved! 

Showing what "fun-guys" (geddit..?!?) we are on our Mushrooms & Funghi theme day!

When autumn got underway, our facilitators organised a ‘Mushroom & Funghi’ theme day for our clients. First we did a bit of research together about the many different species out there, then carried out some photo identification.

Next, clients and volunteers ventured out into the “great Irthlingborough outdoors” to forage and gather suitable materials to create ‘woodland houses’ (with a few fairies from the art department thrown in for good luck!).

Of course, what else would be on the menu for lunch that day than mushroom risotto?! A terrific day for everyone, working together and using creativity, forward-planning and concentration. 

Becky and husband Wayne raise almost £300 running the Stanwick Lakes 2018 Autumn Run!

Our Admin & Fundraising Coordinator, Becky Lake, took part in the Autumn Run at nearby Stanwick Lakes back in September, along with her husband Wayne, to raise funds for Headway East Northants. 

Becky successfully completed the 5k course while Wayne completed the 10k! 

Thanks to generous donations, Becky and Wayne managed to raise almost £300 for our Irthlingborough Centre, to continue the services and support provided to our wonderful clients and their families.  

Becky says: “I feel so fortunate to work with such a fantastic group of people, who really do make such a difference to the lives of our clients. It definitely made the highly dodgy leggings worth it!”

A huge thank you to all who kindly donated!
