On Saturday 30th June four representatives from Lloyds Register will be taking part in The John Hulley Sefton Triathlon in order to raise funds for The Whitechapel Centre.
Sian Stephens from Lloyds register has been involved in many different fundraising events for us in the past, and this one will certainly push all involved to their limits!
The triathlon is made up of a 150m swim, 5km cycle and finally a 2.5km run, that is for the 3 adults taking part, Sian Stephens, Lawrence Cawley and Claire Antrobus.
The forth member of the team is Kieran Eusebio, who is only in year 3, but still has to do a 25m swim, 800m cycle and a 500m run, a massive amount for a young boy!
The event starts at 9am for the adults and 3pm for the children, at the sports hall in Crosby Leisure Centre, all spectators are welcome to come and support those taking part (for a minimum 50p donation).
If you are interested in sponsoring the team please got to their just giving page at: http://www.justgiving.com/whitechapel-wonders.
Alternatively you can donate by text, free from all mobiles, just send the amount ie. £5, followed by code QGRV 48 to 70070.

New addition to The Whitechapel Enablement Centre
On Monday 25th June we had a new arrival at our Enablement Centre on Langsdale Street, Everton.
The new addition was so big it had to be delivered, and put into place, by a crane!!
It was of course our new activities centre, which has made a very welcome addition to the team.
The old Portakabin was removed last week, and we have replaced it with a new, bigger, brighter structure, more suited to the many activities, group and training sessions that will be taking place within it.
All that is left to do now is use the space for the purpose that it was put there, weekly activities will take place there, art and craft sessions amongst others.
At the end of July we will have our new intake of volunteers who will be training for their new role in the centre too.

Entrance is free, and the Kabin Krew themselves will be performing their self written song.
The event is being held to highlight the corrupting effect of money on politcs, and the poverty experienced by so many children in this country, along with other relevant social issues.

Jubilee Celebrations at The Whitechapel Centre
Service users and staff have marked the Queen’s Jubilee with a week-long series of Royal-themed activities.
Our Literacy group, ESOL (English Speaking for Other Languages) class and drama sessions all focussed on British and Royal themes.
The week was topped off with a fantastic British Buffet. It’s amazing to think that the queen was already 23 years into her reign when The Whitechapel Centre was established in 1975!
For more in formation on the services that we provide at The Whitechapel Centre please see our website at http//:www.whitechapelcentre.co.uk/.
