Each year we undertake many varied activities. Here are a few of the more recent and memorable.
Mencap ‘Snap!’ photography competition
Two Squad members were amongst the stars of the Snap! 2004 competition and exhibition, judged by David Bailey, and hosted at the Victoria & Albert museum in London.. Mencap’s Lord Rix presented the prizes to Squad members who travelled to the V&A to receive their award and lots of praise.
Cooking School
For the first time at Squad, funded by a Learning in the Community (LiNC) grant, a dynamic six-week cookery school was set-up to introduce a group of members to some of the basics of cooking. The course opened up a world of culinary delights travelling from Italian to Indian cuisine. Members learned how to work in groups, read and understand recipes, prepare ingredients and produce food for the whole group. This activity was a great success, with many members requesting a further stage.

Football Academy
Fulham FC Football and Community Scheme runs a weekly soccer academy at Squad and has been getting the team into shape. Football skills for our footie-mad members include warm-ups, dribbling, goal shooting and tackling, with the aim to develop the team so that they can take part in a local league competing with other youth groups.
The Bill
ITV’s The Bill is a favourite television programme of many Squad members and PC Gary Best, actor Ciaran Griffiths, came to help Squad celebrate 10 years in 2003. This was a great treat and Ciaran cut the cake, signed lots of autographs and posed for many photos.
