Our Spring / Summer 2025 Timetable is almost complete. What a year it has been so far! We ended our activities with an evening of fun and laughter. Thanks to Penny for hosting another fabulous ‘Gateway in the Jungle’ session. Our brave members reluctantly swallowed some weird and wonderful ‘dishes’ during the bushtucker trials. See the photos here.
OH we did have a wonderful day by the seaside! A big thank you to all the volunteers and carers that helped to make our trip a huge success. We also wish to thank Alexander Dragonetti ( a contestant on The Traitors who kindly donated some of his winnings to Mencap). Alex’s brother who had a learning disability sadly passed away and Alex wanted to donate some money to a club who can create happy memories to their members. Our Gateway Club were considered the most deserving of the award, courtesy of Mencap.
Here are some photos of our day out at Southsea..

We were entertained on Saturday 23rd November by a wonderful group of people at The Hazlemere Community Centre. VIdya Jyoti, led by Dr Pamela Kaushal and ably assisted by Angela who provided an amazing party including lots of music, fun, laughter and games. The group also volunteer at The Gateway Club, Harrow.

Also a BIG thank you to Jo, who taught us all to sing in the space of a few weeks. Jo will back before Christmas to have a sing along with us, so start warming up your vocal chords for all those lovely Christmas Carols!
What an amazing start to our new term! We had the fabulous Jo from Chiltern Music Therapy to teach us all to sing. We think our choir will be amazing, and with the help of Jo, we’ll be the best choir in Wycombe! See the photo below and it’s plain to see that everyone is really enthusiastic!
