Our Groups

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.

Parents Steering Group

Members of the group may also feed back ideas on how we might improve our services to our manager and to the Trustees' Management Committee.

The first meeting of the Steering Group was held here at our offices on 29th October 2009 and the second on 29th January 2010.

The meetings will be held once a quarter for the first year and following that, at different times and venues to give everyone who wants to an opportunity to attend.
