Learning Disability Week 2023

Today we went to the start of the celebrations for learning disability week at the town hall as it is the 10th anniversary this year!

This years theme was all about breaking the stigma and misconceptions of people with learning disabilities. A big thank you to Tom Relph who had dedicated the last 10 years of pulling all of the events together within south Tyneside.

We are looking forward to the events that are happening this week and we are doing drop in sessions please see the flyer below😆

Our Dear Friend Malcolm

oday we had the absolute pleasure of being able to say goodbye to a dear friend of Holder House.

Our Malcolm had a beautiful service and send off surrounded by all of his friends and family- Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him knew he was such a kind and sweet man. He had the gentlest soul. He brought laughs, dancing and good company to everyone that attended Holder House.

We want to say a special thank you to his family and especially his sister Kathy for a very kind donation left by Malcolm to give to Holder House, with this donation it will go towards our new sensory area and our now new named corner ‘Malcolms End’ . Malcolm was football mad supporting his team Newcastle United so hopefully we can get something for his memory relating to his favourite team.

No words can express the impact he made to our team and we wish his family all the best during this difficult time.

So farewell to our friend, everyone at Holder House have been so lucky to be apart of your life. Keep on dancing with the angels.

Love your Holder House family! X

I wonder what we’re upto? Our member Paul has been grafting away with Chris Tillbrook getting our various bases ready for summer time 😛 we can’t wait until it’s finished

We are back at our garden base and I tell you we have picked the best week for the weather. The lads have been super busy maintaining and keeping it fresh for us to come back and work from the site.

Look at the hard work ! 🎨🎨🏡🧑‍🌾🌞☀️

Photos that make us smile! This is one of our younger members who attends on a Saturday. He enjoyed being at the garden even if it was raining 🪴

On Friday we had our weekly catch up with Paul, he was very happy to see his friends Clinton and Andrew – Not forgetting Bobby the dog 🐶

I see someone is taking full advantage of the sun and our swing we have on site ☀️
