Havering Group
Welcome,
to the Havering Group page.
We are a subgroup to the main charity and are run by volunteers dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities and their families of all faiths and none across Havering.
Our charitable activities include a weekly Saturday Centre for older adults with disabilities. This is held every Saturday and is supported by many volunteers who also assist with transporting members to and from the centre. Other events include trips to Queen's Theatre in Hornchurch, day trips and masses.
Our charity is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve, and we rely on our amazing volunteers to help us achieve our mission.
If you're looking for a friendly and supportive community, we encourage you to join us and discover what the Catholic Fellowship can offer you and your family. Thank you for visiting our website, and we look forward to welcoming you to our community.
What The Group Gets Up To
Saturday Centre
The group meets every Saturday providing a social and friendly environment for members to come along make new friends, gain support from our volunteers, participate in engaging activities or just have something as a regular routine. Our volunteers also provided support with transport for those who require it. Contact our group on the below details for more information.
Theatre
Trips
Over the years our members have enjoyed theatre trips across Essex. Not only does it provide great entertainment it is also a positive environment to make new friends, socialise and enjoy time visiting new places.
If you have seen a theatre show that you thing would be great for our group too see, please let us know.
Masses
Many of our members enjoy participating our our masses held at our local churches. For those who like to attend, they are more than welcome. We enjoy providing support for individuals not only socially but also spiritually. However, we welcome any member of all faiths and none.
A Message From The Havering Chair, Louis Vella
Welcome to the Havering Group.
I am very proud to be chair of a group that has brought friendship, support and enjoyment to disabled people and their families in Havering for many years.
At the heart of our group is our Saturday Centre, where members come together each week to meet friends, socialise and enjoy activities in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Whether it is playing games, having a chat over tea and biscuits or simply spending time with friends, the Centre is an important part of the week for many of our members.
But Havering is about much more than one weekly group. Throughout the year we organise a variety of activities and opportunities for our members. These have included theatre trips, our annual Christmas celebrations, social events and visits to the Special Needs Mass at Aylesford.
We also enjoy supporting our members in their own achievements and being part of the wider local community.
Just as important is the friendship and support that happens away from our events. Our volunteers keep in touch with members and families through the good times and the more difficult ones, whether that is celebrating a birthday, visiting someone who is unwell or simply letting somebody know that we are thinking of them.
None of this would be possible without the extraordinary commitment of our committee and volunteers. Many have given years of service to the group and continue to give their time because they genuinely care about our members and the community we have created together. I am enormously grateful to every one of them.
Whether you are a disabled person, a parent or carer looking for somewhere welcoming, or someone interested in volunteering with us, I hope you will come along and meet us. You will always receive a warm welcome.
