My Network's Christmas Market

Santa Claus will be coming to town on Saturday 7th December.  Join in the festive fun with the Aldingbourne Trust from 11am to 2pm at their Creative Arts Studio, No73 Aldwick Road Bognor Regis.  Where they will be getting in the festive spirit with a charity fundraising Christmas Market in aid of the My Network project.

My Network Co-ordinator, Debbie Allsopp said, “The Christmas Market is an opportunity for everyone to celebrate their talents.  Members have been making items to sell and will be around on the day serving teas, coffees, cake, mulled wine and mince pies.”

Students from their Creative Arts Studio have also been making goods for sale, so there will be a selection of Christmas gifts available to purchase, and a Christmas tombola offering the chance to win some wonderful Christmas prizes.  There are also tables available for rent at £10, so if you crafty and would like to sell some items please contact Debbie on 01243 838539.

My network is located at No73 Aldwick Road, which is a welcoming place where people with learning disabilities can come to seek advice, find out information or simply meet friends and socialise.  My Network aims to support social inclusion, and hosts social evenings every Thursday from 6-9pm, activities can include bingo, karaoke and quiz nights.  They also provide a Saturday lunch club on alternative weekends, where members are encouraged to plan a meal, shop for the ingredients, then prepare, and cook the meal.

The Christmas Market will raise additional funds needed to continue the support they offer to adults with learning disabilities and/or autism.  It will also support My Network to provide more events to the local community, continuing their support in providing social inclusion.
