What's Happening at The Meeting Room?

We have loads of things planned for 2024 - activities, trips and other events.  As well as our regular walks and table tennis sessions, we are looking forward to picnics, theatre outings, day trips, camping trips and our fabulous mini-breaks. Please see below for the schedule of our Upcoming Events.

Here is what has been happening recently -

Christmas Eve Deliveries - 38 hampers of festive goodies including a complete Christmas dinner prepared by our staff and volunteers were delivered to needy families and individuals in our local community.  Lisa and Gayle organised a wonderful team of Santa's helpers - thanks for contributing your time and skills.  And huge thanks to all of our supporters who donated items of food or gifts - it is fantastic that so many people are so generous at this time of year.

Pantomine at Leatherhead Theatre - Who doesn't like a pantomine (our Client Support Manager, Lisa, certainly does!)? Just under thirty of our clients had a great time watching Robin Hood - oh yes, they did!

Christmas Lunches & Party - Christmas is always a very special time of year at The Meeting Room and 2023 was no exception.  So many of our clients, friends, supporters, volunteers and staff joined together to celebrate the season and all that we do at The Meeting Room.  A great time was had by all!

Walton Firs Camping & Activities - in mid November, a group of staff and clients headed off to Walton Firs Activity Centre in Cobham.  Despite not having the greatest of weather, our intrepid crew had a wonderful time, and the activities, as always, were a great hit.  Ah, I can just smell the campfire.......

FestHumble 2023 - Forget Glastonbury, Reading, Isle of Wight or anywhere else for that matter.  In July, West Humble was the place to be.  What a great day we all had and a huge thank you to the wonderful FestHumble organising team and the Stepping Stones pub, who raised nearly £1,800 for The Meeting Room.  We know how to put the 'fun' in fundraising!  Check out the pictures!

Barge Trip - The Meeting Room barge trips are rather well-known for a being a great laugh and a lot of fun.  So, in late June, 10 clients and 2 of our staff spent some wonderful time together, taking in the canals of north London & Middlesex and camping out for two nights.  The weather was fantastic and I think you will see from the photos that a great time was had by all.

Coronation Barbeque - On May 8, we had held bbq and party to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.  Despite the weather not playing ball, we had some wonderful food including the most amazing cakes and the chocolatiest brownies that you have ever tasted! We had our very own 'Bake Off' competition and there wasn't a soggy bottom in sight.  A special thanks to Alice Trevor for the live music and to everyone for their support and efforts in making it a great occasion - I think that you will be able to tell from the photos on the side bar!

Volunteers Tea Party  - On Feb 1, we had a tea party to say thank you to our amazing volunteers without whom The Meeting Room would simply be unable to function.  So many of our volunteers assist us week in , week out and have done so for many years.  We had lovely time just chatting and sharing stories with a great group of people (see the photos on the side bar).  Thanks to 51 N in Mickleham for taking such good care of us - the cakes were especially scrumptious!
