Go Karting Trip
Eight Leatherhead Start clients had the opportunity to try Go Karting at a centre in Crawley last week. A great time was had by all and trophies were even given out! The trip was organised by our volunteer Paul Fraser and the costs generously covered by his local chiropractic company, Aligned For Life (see website here). Paul has been volunteering for Leatherhead Start since January 2013 organising fun trips out which boost spirits and build confidence in our clients. He also offers free chiropractic treatment to any of our clients who need it and has treated nine people in total. We are hugely grateful for his contribution and it has certainly made a difference in the lives of our clients. Thanks, Paul!

Local youth deliver Christmas hampers
In December last year, young people from the Leatherhead Youth Project put together some Christmas goodies for our clients and came to deliver them. Our clients were so touched by the gesture. A huge thank you to the brilliant staff and young people at LYP!
They even made a short video! To watch click here…

Volunteer Viv prepares an evening meal
Viv, our Volunteer Cook, prepares a meal for our clients once a week using the hostel’s kitchen. Since December, she has come in most Thursdays at 3:30pm to start prepping the meal and then by 6 o’clock there is a delicious spread for LHS clients and staff. This is such a huge help to our work and so appreciated – thanks, Viv!
