Learning Disability Week football match was a great success

We met up at the Alan Higgs Centre to watch a football match between a team from Grapevine and Some ex Coventry City players. The match came about because the health buddies had started training session with Paul Reynolds, the disability coach Coventry city football club. It was then decided to have the match in Learning Disability Week some of us were cheerleaders. The team wore Big Lottery T-shirts as they are the ones who funded the Media and Health projects. We drew 6-6, every body enjoyed the match it was good fun. Photos by dave. www.davemussonphotography.com Here is a short video clip

Disability week and welsh visitors

Just an update on what the media team is doing on Thursday and on learning disability week, we are having some visitors from Wales on the 18th of June. During learning disabilty week which is next Monday the 22nd of June, we are doing a bed push on the 25th of June which we are pushing a bed from the BBC then walking to the council house and then back to Grapevine. Along the way giving leaflets out and talking to people about it too. The reason why we are doing this campaign is because people with learning disabilities have to go back home because of staff change over and the campaign is called staying up late which is run by a punk band called Heavy Load who are a band with people with learning disabilities and 2 volunteers. On the 26th of June we 're having a six aside football match against ex Coventry City players at a place called the Alan Higgs Centre and there are cheerleaders too. Please make sure you show your support and vote on this site.

Hi I'm Alex

I like Leicester city football club. I try to go to every Home match with my mum. We have got season tickets. Most of the time it's funny to go, but sometimes it's not because we lose. Sometimes my mum takes me to Lynn's café before the match to have burger and chips and sometimes my Dad comes too, so he can go running or go into Town.
