Ludlow Spring Festival
A big thank you to everyone who helped, donated and supported Working Together to run the Bag Crèche at the Spring Festival last weekend.
We had a great time looking after people’s bags, playing ‘Splat the Rat’ and selling some of the books from our Charity Bookshop.
A big part of Working Together is promoting the positive role people with learning disabilities can play in the local community. We certainly demonstrated this and we also raised over £370 – which is fantastic!
We’re very much looking forward to running the Bag Crèche at the Food Festival in September with even more opportunities for our members to be involved. Let us know if you’d like to volunteer.
Thanks to Spring Festival and Hands Together Ludlow for their support.
Thank you Sammy…
Working Together is a special family and we do some brilliant activities together, like Youth Club, Diversity and our daytime activities at Rockspring.
None of these activities would be possible without the hard work of our staff team.
At Youth Club, last week, we said a special thank you to Sammy who has been at WT for an incredible 10 years – what a brilliant achievement!
Thanks Sammy.
Sarah’s Marathon Challenge
In our last newsletter we promised an update on Sarah’s preparation for the Edinburgh Marathon – which is only two weeks away!
“Race day is looming. Edinburgh Marathon 2020 takes place on 29th May 2022 and, as I write this, that means less than 2 weeks to go.
I completed an 18-mile run last Saturday, during a visit to Telemark, in Norway. Thankfully, our friends live in a valley so I was able to complete a fairly flat route, and the surroundings made a delightful change.
This Saturday, I have done my last long run, 20-miles, or as far as I could run in 3 hours 20 minutes. Any longer tends to be counter-productive: too tiring on the body.
I am pleasantly surprised at how well this has all gone. I have remained blister and injury-free throughout, I have learnt about how to take on board fluids and nutrition, how to pace myself and I have managed to work out an outfit that keeps chafing to a minimum. Not only that but I have enjoyed the whole experience immensely.
The fund-raising is going well and I promise you that on the day, for all 26.2 miles of it, I will be thinking of you – the members, families, staff and volunteers – all our wonderful Working Together family!”
We also promised to reveal what the picture is on the back of Sarah’s T shirt…
It says Working Together and has a picture of some of our members too…
Good luck to Sarah from everyone at WT!
