Maddie, one of our brilliant shop team members, has created this vibrant window display in honour of Remembrance Sunday. 🌹 The display is made up of loaned items, including the coat and poppies.

Open until 4.30pm. #RemembranceSunday #Bushey #WatfordMencap #CharityShop

It's Trustees' Week! 🌟⁠ Trustees' Week is a chance for us to spotlight our wonderful trustees and the support they give us. We pride ourselves on having a diverse board to represent all parts of our community. Annie, one of our newest trustees, had this to say: ''I became a trustee because I wanted to support a local organisation with my time and feel I could give back from some of the expertise I had learnt in other parts of the charity sector. I hope I can bring an outside voice to the inside of the fundraising team and offer a sounding board for developing a strategy. Just a few months in and I already feel so welcome and part of something so important for people with learning disabilities across Watford. I only wish I could do more!''⁠ Thank you so much to our incredible board! #TrusteesWeek #TrusteesWeek2025 #WatfordMencap
