Thanks to everyone who has helped to raise this, the money has paid for our insurance for 2021, ready for when the club is able to return.

We are trying to encourage people to follow our page on Facebook (Carers Trust Heart of England) to keep up to date with the help, advice and practical and emotional support the charity can offer those caring for loved ones in Coventry and Warwickshire. If any carers would be interested in receiving a free carers assessment/wellbeing check to support their own health and wellbeing the info on how to do so is included in the post – hopefully this will be helpful. Many thanks Christine.

Although we have not been able to open since March 2020, we have just paid our insurance for 2021, so that we are covered for when we are eventually allowed to open again, so every penny really does count to keep the club running. Thank you!

We will be hosting a Christmas Party on Zoom on Wednesday 23rd December at 6pm. We have a Christmas Quiz to start things off. We know this can’t replace being able to go swimming, but hopefully this will give us a chance to all catch up after what has been a difficult year. Feel free to wear your Christmas jumpers and bring a mince pie to eat! We might even sing some Christmas carols too!

If you would like an invite sending via email, with the meeting details on, please let Marie know, either via Facebook or marieclarke5@btinternet.com

Hope to see you there!

Hi all, message from Sported’s Disability lead.  Please see message from Disability Rights UK below. Please send onto any members who you think might be interested in this opportunity.

We want to make a big effort to ensure that any messages and influencing we do on the upcoming government strategy for disabled people are coming directly from disabled people. We are currently looking to hear from individuals who have anything to say about their experience of life.

We are asking disabled people to tell us what matters to them by emailing webelong@disabilityrightsuk.org. People can also send us audio or video of you talking about the things that matters to them.

Please see the link below for incontinence swimming products for Adults and Children, in case any of our members will find it helpful.
