Our Groups

Coffee Morning

The SAtA Coffee Morning is held on the first Thursday of every month from 10.30 am -12 pm at Christchurch, 741 Warwick Road, Solihull (opposite the House of Fraser).

We welcome anyone with a learning disability (and carers/relatives), to join us for coffee, biscuits and a friendly chat. We also enjoy several different games.

If you're interested in volunteering, it's a good opportunity to find out more about us and our work in an informal setting. Just turn up on the day if you're interested.

Craft Group

The Craft Group runs every second Tuesday at the Chelmsley Wood Baptist Church, Hedingham Grove from 10.30 am - 12 pm and is open to anyone with a learning disability.

We are a small, friendly group and apart from enjoying craft activities, it's a nice opportunity to meet other people from the community. We are supported by volunteers, which means we can ensure that everyone who attends is given the opportunity to participate fully in the activities. We encourage group members to help with the running of the group if they would like to (e.g. making tea, setting things up) and also encourage members to make choices about what activities they would like to do.

New volunteers are welcome and, like the coffee morning, it can be an informal introduction to volunteering and a way to find out about SAtA.

Please contact us if you would like to find out dates.
