Blessing in Disguise Networking Coffee Morning Success

Blessing in Disguise Networking Coffee Morning Success

Blessing in Disguise hosted its first informal networking coffee morning for parents and carers of disabled children children and young people with the support of Just BU.

It was a chance to bring like-minded people together in a relaxing friendly atmosphere to establish our services locally and plan equipment, events and activities for the coming year on top of our ever popular fun fair events in May and October and Christmas parties. We aim to fill the gaps left by government spending cuts and changes in public services by providing equipment, activities and sign posting to create an inclusive community locally.

Blessings in Disguise joined forces with Just BU and Just BU CAffee to host the event. Just BU CAffee is a community cafe run by the community group Just BU - run by people with disabilities with the support of their helpers. Just BU were on hand to meet and greet, make drinks, snacks, serve and clean up whilst learning to manage money.
