Celebration at the Wimbledon Foundation's Annual Reception 2025 10 Apr 2025
On Wednesday 26th March, our Chair of Trustees Charlotte Peck and trustee Jenny Betteridge represented The Squad Club at the famous All England Lawn Tennis club - home of the Wimbledon tennis championships - at the Wimbledon Foundation's Annual Reception.
Volunteers, members, colleagues, and Trustees from 75 organisations joined the event, which focussed on the power of local investment and impact. There were also brilliant speakers from two local charities and fellow beneficiaries of the Foundation's grants, Kani's Kitchen and the Faith in Action Merton Homelessness Project.
We particularly enjoyed the great connections and conversations with St Raphael's Hospice (Merton and Sutton), Samaritans (ILSW) and Disability Sports Coach.
Our huge thanks to the Wimbledon Foundation for all of their support for The Squad Club; their generous grants are enabling us to run our impactful social club nights for young people and adults with learning disabilities, and recruit new talent to help us achieve even more!
