Celebrating our Heroes

Going above and beyond and getting stuck in to help others seems to be a thing these days – and we at SoLO, a learning disability charity for adults and children, are very grateful for that!

We are fortunate to have some amazing community partners who want to make a real a difference – and we are more than happy to celebrate them.

We love it when we receive donations as it enables us to buy those extras to support our members that we would otherwise struggle to find the ££ for.  But we love it even more when, all fired up with enthusiasm, folk are happy to literally roll their sleeves up and get hands-on with whatever needs doing because they know they are making a difference!

National Grid took on the challenge of our outside space at Walnut Close recently!  Ant and his team had a great day cutting back foliage and clearing the car park.  Then, not content with that, they came back with another team and did some heavy work in the back garden as well as clearing the patio and the surrounding areas, so everything is now spick and span and safe for our members to enjoy the outside. 

They were so enthused that even when some had to drop out on one of the days, one of their team was happy to do an extra day on his own – true dedication!

Thank you to our community partners who join our SoLO super-heroes – you have given us the gift of your time – which is precious to us all.
