Disability Watford Quiz Night 12th July 2018 - Cancelled

6/5/2018

It is that time of year again when Disability Watford are asking you to put together a team or join us as individuals and come to our Quiz Night on Thursday 12th July.

This year it is being held at Watford Colosseum again and the price is still only £12 which does include a Fish & Chip supper (veggie options available).

We really would like to see more people with a disability join us on the night as the main aim of the night is to help those who might not get out that often to get out and meet old friends and new. Even if you come along on your own you will not feel lonely or isolated.

This is one of our main fundraisers of the year as well, so bring some change for the raffle which does bring in valuable funds for us to continue our work.

To book your tickets either call the office on 01923 245944 and leave a message or email info@disabilitywatford.org.uk

Bookings before 5th July please.

Disability Watford is re-launching their open public forums

28/1/2018

Disability Watford is re-launching their open public forums for people with a disability and others with an interest in disability access issues.

Due to the amount of calls we have had recently in the office on the town centre and its many changes, we have decided this should be the subject of our first public forum

This forum is being held on 15th March at 2.00pm in committee room 2 Watford Town Hall. So we hope to see as many of you as possible and do tell others about this meeting - and not forgetting to ask your local councillor to join you at the meeting.

If you would like to email us to let us know if you are intending to attend it would be helpful, but this is optional and just turning up on the day is OK as well.
