Big congratulations to our art students who won TWO awards in the Wandsworth Art Competition, run by Wandsworth Council to recognise the talent and creativity of people with learning disabilities.

Our students were presented with engraved glass awards, vouchers and certificates by Cllr Simon Hogg at a special ceremony in the Council Chambers. Their beautiful artwork will be on permanent display at Wandsworth Town Hall for everyone to enjoy. Students are rightly very proud of their achievements, as are we! 

We’re all about art this month! As well as winning the Wandsworth Art Competition, three of our art students have had their work featured in a special exhibition at Block 336 in Brixton.

Cally, Rehan and Carla took part in a series of mentoring workshops aimed at disabled artists. This culminated in an exhibition of work made in partnership with Disability Advice Service Lambeth (dasl) and curated by Naomi Fitzsimmons for Block 336.

We were delighted to attend a special Share day at the gallery for students and staff to appreciate the beautiful and compelling works. 

We’re running a series of free events as part of an initiative funded by NHS SW London and managed by Wandsworth Care Alliance to prevent health inequalities by helping people to live well and stay well.

The events are designed to empower people with learning disabilities and autism with the knowledge and resources necessary to navigate the welfare system effectively, thereby improving their health. 

Adults with learning disablities and autism, their families and carers, and social care professionals are all welcome to join us.  

The first week of June marks Volunteers’ Week, and we wanted to offer our heartfelt thanks to every volunteer that supports us. Whether helping as support workers, befrienders, trustees, or taking part in one-off corporate volunteering days, we can’t thank volunteers enough for giving us their time and skills to help us deliver our services.

Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back to your community, learn new things and make new friends. If you’re interested in getting involved please do check out our volunteering opportunities and get in touch! 

You could make a big difference to our work with just a small monthly gift. We rely on donations to deliver the range and quality of services essential to support disabled adults to have more choice and independence.

Regular giving in this way is vital to help charities like Share. Guaranteed income from monthly givers means we can plan and invest in our services longer term, providing more programmes and support for disabled people and their families.

Despite the ongoing construction work at the Springfield site, our garden centre in Tooting is still open to buy gorgeous affordable plants to brighten up your outdoor space.

Or why not buy a gift voucher for a friend? Share Garden Centre gift vouchers make a lovely gardening gift at this time of year. Do pop by weekdays between 10am and 4pm and our friendly staff and students will be happy to help.
