The club has held a weekly Zoom Meeting on our usual Wednesday nights and manages to keep in regular contact with quite a lot of people through our active WhatsApp group.
Anna Harper is a fairly new member of Kenilworth Phab who is missing her friends at Kenilworth Phab so much that she decided to undertake a sponsored, unassisted, mile long, unpowered wheelchair push to raise funds for the two charities which are the favourite activities she misses most – Kenilworth Phab and RDA. Fortunately the weather was kind and through a great effort, Anna managed to complete the challenge – and in the process has raised over £2,000 so far. Anna has CP and uses a wheelchair to get around.
Natalie Parr has been in very strict isolation since before the official lockdown started and is still very limited because she is so extremely vulnerable but she has not been idle during her lockdown. She loves painting and many forms of art and craft and has spent a very lot of her time in lockdown painting. She created several oversized pictures to cheer up the new Nightingale Hospital in Birmingham and then went on to make more pictures for the Ego Performance Company based in Coventry. She is a member of a group for disabled people based at Ego. They have now collected her pictures and mounted them in an exhibition at the theatre. Nat has recently started another project aimed at involving many other people who are also isolated because of the virus.
