What We Do

Community Involvement

We run a Hate Crime Reporting Centre every Wednesday at our office in Bolton Place from 10 - 12 mid-day. Richard is our Reporting Assistant. This centre is open for people who may be experiencing a hate crime and are finding it hard to speak up about it.

We have 4 representatives on the West Berkshire Partnership Board. Rachael is the Co Chair.

 

We run a regular Pub Club at the Coopers Arms for our members to meet socially. Marie is our Pub Club Administrator.

 

Our membership is open to any adult living in West Berkshire with a learning disability. Karen is our Membership Secretary.

 

We produce a newsletter four times a year. The newsletter is also available on audio cd. Sandy is our Newsletter Co Editor.

 

We run regular workshops which are open to all our members and promote our group around West Berkshire.
