All Aboard Club

This morning Wayne headed off to Brookwood at the all aboard club where he met up with Richard who runs the club 😊

Together with two other volunteers 35 chairs were put around the hall for parents to sit ad watch the kids enjoy the train track. Then the building began, between the 5 of us a very creative track with plenty of loops was created which would keep the kids entertained for the morning 🚂

All Aboard Club 🚋

All Aboard Club were back after the summer break and this morning Wayne & Stephanie joined Richard and his fellow volunteers at Brookwood to help; set up the train track for the kids to enjoy ❤️

The first task was was put out 20 chairs around the hall for the parents to sit and watch the kids have fun, once this was done the fun began. This was Stephanie first time helping out at All Aboard and she got stuck in.

We all started at different corners of the hall and started to lay the track hoping that at some point we will all connect up. The great thing about this task is you can not do it wrong every time we do this the track looks different 🚂 and today it looked great with many twist and turns and plenty of bridges. 😄

A Big Welcome To Who Laura Who Joined Us This Morning 😀

This morning Wayne & Julie were joined by Laura who is our latest member.

Laura who is a keen runner and is passionate about volunteering and giving back to the community 👏🏽

This morning we were joined by DofE volunteers who helped us set up. First thing we had to do was get some chairs from the store room and place around the hall for the parents after the fun part began. As there are instructions to build its all about being creative. Todays track looked awesome so different from the previous weekends there were plenty of twists and turns.

In no time we had finished and the track looked great. 👍🏾

This Wednesday we are back at Brookwood Carrying out gardening duties at a local pre-school hope to see you there 😀

This morning Wayne, Anne, & Julie met at Brookwood with the All Aboard Club to set up the big train set for the kids to enjoy from 11:00am.

Before we met met up Anne continued with her training for the San Fransisco Marathon by doing an early morning 11k while Wayne continues with his training for the Surrey 1/2 by running 9k 🏃‍♂️💨.

They were joined by some young volunteers who were doing their Silver DoE who were also helping out. The first task was to get 25 chairs from the store room and place them around the side of the hall for the parents to sit down.

Once this was done the real fun began. We all took a corner of the hall and started building the train track. The great thing about this task is you can be creative as you want as long as the all the tracks join up its a success. Half way through the track was looking great 😊.

The track was built in record time 40mins and it looked great.

This Week we are at the RSPCA if anyone is available please sign up...

On this fine Sunday, ☀ Lauren and Nadia arrived at the Brookwood Memorial Hall to set up the train set with All Aboard!; a charity that runs play sessions for children with autism and ADHD.

After some instructions from Richard the Train Controller, we got stuck in building the tracks, along with the other volunteers. We seemed to be on a roll today as the tracks were all joined up within 35 minutes! We then put some stations in as well as tunnels, and finally the best bit was putting the trains on. Some of them are battery powered and it’s great seeing them move on the tracks. We had some nice coffee made by the Italian barista on site, Josie, and had a lovely chit chat before the children arrived. They jumped straight to the trains and got stuck in!

Great to be back again and looking forward to next time!

All ABOARD

This morning Wayne, Kirsty, & Nadia headed to Brookwood to help the All Aboard Club build a giant train track for neurodiverse children to play and interact with 🚂.

We met Richard and a few young volunteers who were also helping out. The beauty of this task is there are no instructions its just build a track, and every time its always different 😄.

Nadia joined us for her 2nd task within a week which is fantastic. This was Kirsty & Wayne 2nd time to get involved with this amazing task.

There were plenty of bridges and signal crossings as well as the dreaded engineering works. 🤣. Within the hour we had created an amazing track just in time for the arrival of the first kids. Seeing the smiles on their faces was amazing.

Keep a look out for some up and coming tasks and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
