Tuck Shop Grand Opening

Robert Scullard, Iain MacBeath & Lyn Fear

There was a great turn out for the ceremonial cutting of the ribbon by our Director of Health & Community Services, Iain Macbeath who kindly found time in his busy schedule to visit us here at the Shepherd Centre and declare the new Tuck Shop open and ready for business. Two of our guys from Outreach Robert Scullard and Lyn Fear were appointed as our resident shop assistants and will be on hand most days to help run things.

The shop will be open most days from 10.30am – 11.30 am and will sell snacks and stationary.

Another big thank you to the the guys from Vocalink for their support, generosity and hard work in helping us get this shop up and running. They have now become honorary ‘Friends of the Shepherd Centre’.

Remembrance Day 2014

Each year in November, the United Kingdom remembers the men and women who gave their lives in the two World Wars and subsequent conflicts. 11 November is known as Armistice Day, Remembrance Day or Poppy Day. This year takes on added significance as it is the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.

Service users make their own individual remembrance poppies and display them.

Happy Halloween from the Shepherd Centre

Art Group Visit Open Studio Art exhibition – Hatfield

On the 25th September the ‘Shepherd Centre Art Group’  were kindly invited to view an exhibition created by the ‘Welwyn & Hatfield Day Service Art Group’, held at the Mill Green Museum Hatfield.

Great to see some fantastic art work created by the Welwyn & Hatfield Service Users , including drawings & paintings, plaster of Paris hands, painted bags, fishing pond complete with rods and fish, totem Pole and a lot more.

It was great to share ideas and information and it was felt that our own art group would benefit and go from strength to strength continuing to improve as we work to make our group the best it can be with the help of our own talented Service Users.
