Yesterday lunchtime I attended the neighbourhood learning centres celebration day at the Newbury Day Centre in Newtown Road. There were representatives from the centres around West Berkshire, including Theale and Hungerford, and stands giving information about the various organisations who work in partnership with West Berkshire Council to provide services and facilities for the community, and especially for those with learning disabilities.
I saw filmed interviews with people learning IT skills at Hungerford Day Centre, and a demonstration of British Sign Language. Unfortunately I could not stay for the full three hours and therefore missed out on the presentation by the Ormonde Resource Centre, and the yoga workshop.
The picture is of me and Erik Anders who runs the Morpheus Theatre which is based at the Day Centre. The theatre puts on professional productions by touring theatre companies, and gives opportunites for local people with learning difficulties to gain experience and qualifications in the performing arts.
