St. Georges House

Pancake Day was celebrated in some style at St.George’s with an astonishing display of pancake tossing at the HUB.  Service User’s were dazzled at the speed, efficency and technique of the staff.  The atmosphere is never flat at the HUB.

St.George’s Hub has continued its fitness push by supporting swimming sessions for our service Users at the local swimming baths.  We continue to expand our selection of meaningful activities for disadvantaged people.  The sessions enable people suffering multiple disadvantages to spend their time constructively, keep fit and hopefully we will discover a few potential olympians.   Our aim is that these sessions will inspire service users to access community and leisure facilities and take on the baton themselves.

As part of our continuing relationship with Wolves in the Community, several of our service User’s attended a celebratory meal at the ‘Sir Jack’s’ Restaurant in  Molineux Stadium during December 2011.  The Head to Health scheme has played a significant part in improving the health, through sport, in Wolverhampton and we look forward in 2012 to offering more sporting activities to vulnerable people in the City.

Congratulations to all who participated in the HUB’s ‘talentfest’
that took place as part of our Christmas celebrations.  Contributions were from right across the musical
spectrum and hugely impressed the panel of judges. The audience were won over
by the sheer commitment and integrity of all that performed.  The event highlighted the creative
opportunities available at the HUB, there are a number of artistic activities
available to our Service User’s and we encourage all to find a ‘voice’ .

Many thanks to our Volunteer, Nick, for his efforts and commitment to the event

Well done to all of the competitors who made the event so compelling. Kasparov has rivals for 2012!!

Our Chess Tournament was won by Claudio after a fiercely competed final with Emil.  The standard of play was exceptionally high and the competition caught the imagination of our Service User’s.  Claudio’s hands were so astonishingly speedy that it was difficult to catch the event on an ordinary camera!

The game of chess transcends borders and cultures and was played in a great spirit.  Thanks to all who gave their time.

To celebrate the 1st anniversary of Wolves Community Trust’s ‘Head for Health’ Project, 2 service users from
St. George’s HUB, who had taken part in the scheme were invited to take part in a tournament.  The HUB represented Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C against other clubs from around the country, including Birmingham City  and Stoke City. Football has a way of breaking down many barriers and this proved to be the case as a fantastic day was had  by all.The final was a nailbiting affair with Wolves finally running out 3-2 winners.

Long live the beautiful game.

The artwork of the Service Users of St.George’s HUB was displayed at Wolverhampton Library from Monday the 24th October to Friday the 28th October.  The display, curated by our resident artist, Mark, gave something of a flavour of some of the talented artists that utilise the HUB.

The progress of the group continues.  All are welcome.

Artwork by the Service User’s of St.George’s will be displayed at Wolverhampton Library from Monday the 24th of October to Friday the 28th October.
