Tina's Story
We are grateful to everyone who supported us during this difficult time. See Our Supporters page for more information.
Between 17th March 2020 and 26th April 2021, thanks to our supporters we:
Reach Newark Tutor Gemma talked to Emma and her Mum, Joy. Emma normally attends Gemma's sewing class and when we had to close, she was part way through a project to make a puff patchwork blanket.
"When I talked to Joy she told me how much Emma was missing this so I called our Centre Manager for advice – I knew this was important for Emma’s wellbeing and wanted to see if there was anything we could do. Within a matter of hours, one of my colleagues had collected Emma’s project and some supplies from Reach Newark and delivered them safely to Emma’s house. These are the sorts of activities we’ve been offering clients to provide some continuity so they know that Reach is still here for them. I’m looking forward to seeing Emma’s finished project."
- Gemma, Reach Newark Tutor
“I was amazed at the speed in which we received Emma’s sewing. You are all doing a great job, thank you, I don’t know what we would do without Reach”
- Joy, Mum to Emma
