Knitting group
We have set up a Knitting Group at the Centre which is on the 3rd Floor of the Southwater Building. It is for those who enjoy knitting or crocheting and for those who are keen to learn. The group started by responding to an appeal from the Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust for colourful woollen blankets for patients with dementia to help them find their way back to bed more easily during a stay in hospital. The group have also knitted hats for premature babies, sunflowers for the Cradle appeal and poppies for Remembrance Day. Since the start of the pandemic, the group have responded to urgent appeals by the Princess Royal Hospital for PPE equipment. Members of the group have sewn scrub trousers and tops for nursing staff and ear bands for face masks. They have also raised money for local charities by selling knitted items and they provide knitted items for charity appeals such as Operation Sabre. The group's aims are learning crafts, forging friendships and supporting well-being. Everybody is welcome.

What do we know about our most vulnerable members of society - Thursday 25th Nov 2021, 6.30-7.30pm, Dr Martin Bollard
Lessons from people with learning disabilities.
This talk will take a temporal look at the lives of people with learning disabilities, one of societies’ most disadvantaged groups of people. Dr Martin Bollard, the Head of Nursing at the University of Wolverhampton will share some of his experiences as a Community Charge Nurse working with individuals with learning disability and autism in a deprived city in the west midlands during the mid-1990s, some of the narratives from his doctoral work and what we have learned about how Covid 19 has affected people with learning disabilities.
Dr Martin Bollard is an academic practitioner currently employed as a Head of Nursing at the University of Wolverhampton. Martin has worked with and researched alongside people with learning disabilities for over 30 years. As a Learning Disability Nurse, he has held various practice leadership roles in the National Health Service. Martin was the first nurse in the UK to devise and implement the annual health check in the 1990s. He has been a national forum member for the RCN, a co-opted member to the RCGP and is the former President of the Intellectual Disability Section at the Royal Society of Medicine. Martin has published his work in peer reviewed journals and edited two academic texts on Learning Disability. He has held different Senior Academic roles at three different universities. His current research work is underpinned by inclusive approaches such as participatory design methodology. This work adopts a solution focused look at health and social care challenges.
