AQA are our supporter of the month for December. 

AQA kindly donated £900 to cover the cost of materials needed to create care packages with Becky and our Me Time team in Tameside for vulnerable groups in Manchester. They hosted the session at their office and had 20 volunteers supporting and creating care packages.  

AQA greatly enjoyed the experience and gave amazing feedback: "Just wanted to pass on my thanks for organising the Mencap session – it was brilliant. So great to talk and learn from people who see and experience life differently. And the vibe in the room was so wholesome. It was only once they left, and the room was quiet, until I truly realised how much joy they all carried with them."

We want to give a huge thank you to all the volunteers who showed up. To AQA for hosting the session and donating an incredible £900 to support vulnerable people. And last but not least thank you to Becky and the entire team in Tameside for making this possible. 

We could not have had such an enjoyable event without all of you, and your support means Mencap can continue our mission to make the lives of people with a learning disability happier and healthier.
