How the award |
The award will be used to re-start and run a monthly Friendship Club event in Sherborne for the next year, including transport for those living in surrounding villages (by Sherborne Voluntary Ambulance). One quarter of adults with learning disabilities spend less than one hour outside of their home every day. The Friendship Club overcomes this by providing everyday things that many of us take for granted: playing sports, attending a disco or community activities. Events are supported by volunteers and staff to ensure that friendships are sustained. |
