MADS Group February 2025 Recap
After the flooding postponing the first session of the year, we have had quite a chilled and relaxed start to the year.
We had our first session of the year just catching up and everyone talking about what they did over Christmas and New Year.
We also had our first visitor of the year come in an talk to us about BUILD. A support community from Volunteer Action Leicester (VAL). They came in to talk to our members about how they can help with various things from Personal Coaching, CV Writing, Job Search Support and more. You can find out more about them at valonline.org.uk/build.
We have been playing some Bingo, which is a favourite at the group. We also got those minds ticking by doing some quizzes, while other members sat doing some relaxation colouring or even doing some word-searches.
We also want to send a big thank-you to Tracey from Tesco in Syston for choosing to donate some money to our group from a recent fundraiser she ran in store. It really means a lot to us and we appreciate all the help she continues to give to our group.
If you know of anyone who would like to donate or help us with funding then please do get in touch with us at: madsgroup@yahoo.com or you can find us in the Green Pages under Health and Fitness for more details about our group and how to get in touch.
