The Alliance Pharmacy in Sawston  (who received a Disability Awareness Award from Pathways ) are still working to improve access and hope to have a barrier placed outside the shop to prevent cars parking on the access pathway.

Thank you

to

Radio Cambridge

Paul Whitmell

for your recent sponsorship

David Woolley from the Cambridge Independent Living Centre talked about many of the aids on the market to help make your life a bit easier.

He brought lots of items from bottle openers, chopping boards and kettle pourers. Members were able to try out the equipment - there were even devices for helping put on socks and tights! It was an excellent meeting and the free gifts from Ridgeons Independent Living Centre were  deeply appreciated.

Sawston Pathways : Outing to Phantom of the Opera.  

We started off on a beautiful sunny day.  The coach had a wonderful lift system for Wheelchairs which made it so easy and comfortable for our wheelchair users.  It also enabled one gentleman who found steps very difficult to go up on the lift with ease.

The sun shone all the way on our journey and we arrived in plenty of time to have a cup of coffee in a roadside Café before going in to the show.  What a show it was!! The fantastic scenery and costumes which you can only see in a West End Show were terrific.  The singing was wonderful and the whole show gripped from beginning to end. Such exciting music had been composed for this unusual story. At the end the audience gave a standing ovation to the cast, which was well deserved.

We came out of the Theatre and there was the coach waiting for us. It made for a wonderful and unusual day out.

We would like to thank  the Grassroots charity for enabling us to go on this outing.  Without their help it would not have been possible.  All the members of the group were so appreciative, as this was not something we are normally able to do.

I you are a local business perhaps you could display a small poster, or offer a prize for a raffle, or directly to someone who may need something you no longer have a use for.

Perhaps you have some specialist knowledge or skill?

WE WILL ALWAYS TRY TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR HELP ON THIS SITE

Sawston Pathways have awarded their Disability Awareness Certificate

to The Jade Fountain Chinese Restaurant in Sawston, in response to a request by a Sawston resident. Mike Cheung accepted the award from Pathways Treasurer Anne Dunn in recognition of the extra help given to disabled people who use the restaurant or call for a take-away.

Residents of Sawston may have noticed that other shops are displaying a blue Disability Awareness Certificate. These have been awarded by members of Sawston Pathways to show their appreciation of the extra help and understanding given by these premises to those in the community who need extra assistance.

We would like to thank all those who contributed  at the Sawston late night shopping by buying raffle or Tombola tickets.

We are always happy to welcome new members whether you are disabled, a carer or able bodied and would like to help.
