MADS Group – December 2024 Recap

Well, we are back after our Christmas break. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We were planning to return to the group on the 8th January but apparently the weather had other plans for Syston. What a way to start the year. So we had made the decision to return to the group on the 15th January instead.
Let’s start with a recap of what we did in the final weeks before we ended for Christmas. We had multiple weeks of Christmas crafts and one of our members had even planned a lovely Christmas themed quiz for everyone. Fast forward to our last session of 2024, we had a wonderful end of year party and karaoke with food made by Carl Petch, who also provided the karaoke.
We had many laughs and many members took the leap of faith and got up to sing. They should all be so proud of the confidence they have gained and what progress they have made.
Once again, We are still open for donations and funding options so if you can help or know of someone who can help, then please get in touch with us via emailing MADSgroup@yahoo.com. Everything we do is to help the community feel happier and more confident to speak up and to hopefully help signpost them to the correct professionals that can help them as we have contacts we can signpost people to.
