Merry Christmas & Thank You…

The staff of Douglas Drive SCA would like to thank our clients, volunteers,
committee members, funders and friends for another great year.
Your continued support throughout this year is so very much
appreciated and valued.

A special thank you to Chauncy Charity, HCF, JCA Engineering, Knebworth Golf Club, Osprey Homes and all our other kind donators for the support and generosity you have shown Douglas Drive SCA this year.

We would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and
a Very Happy New Year.

Christmas Dinner and Presentation Day

Knebworth Golf Club once again invited the whole centre back for our annual Christmas celebration.

In addition to the wonderful meal and entertainment we were presented with a cheque for £18,346.00.  This was presented by Peter Gormley Mens Captain 2017-18 and Cheryl Rowney Ladies Captain 2017-18 who very kindly chose Douglas Drive as their charity throughout their year of captaincy.

This amount will make a huge difference to Douglas Drive and will enable us to maintain and build on the services we currently provide.

Douglas Drive would like to thank Peter, Cheryl and everyone at Knebworth Golf Club for their support and generosity in raising this fantastic amount for Douglas Drive.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you…

A big thank you to all who supported and attended our Christmas Craft, Coffee, Cake and Carols event last Saturday.

It was lovely to see so many friends and new faces, and a pleasure to welcome the Mayor and her consort to Douglas Drive.

An amazing £547.70 was raised on the day with money still coming in from sales made this week.

Thank you all again for your amazing support and generosity.

Our Crafty Friends are 5 Years old!

Crafty Friends of Douglas Drive

A few of our Crafty Crafters Celebrating!

The Crafty Friends of Douglas Drive celebrated their 5th birthday earlier this month.

The Friends of Douglas Drive started in October 2013 with the aim of supporting Douglas Drive whilst continuing with the same ethos of the centre, helping to prevent loneliness and isolation.

The name has since changed to ‘The Crafty Friends of Douglas Drive’ but our aim very much remains the same.

We are always looking for ‘Crafty Crafters’ to join us on a Friday and currently looking particularly for card makers and sewing people however, all crafters are very welcome.

Unable to join us on a Friday but would like to help?… We have a few friends who craft from home and bring items in ready for our sales events.  If this is something you would be interested in please give us a call or pop in for a chat, we’d love to hear from you.
