Speak Out held their annual Speak Out East Festival at St Georges Church on Thursday.

Lots of people with learning disabilities came along and joined in games, music, singing, arts and crafts, healthy eating information from Gloji and a new DJ project from Carousel.

Big thanks to St Georges Church for hosting the event, to the Speak Out team for helping, and especially to Audrey, Dom, and Sim for organising.
