OOPS!!!
We’ve just been reminded that we’ve not posted on instagram in AGES! Sorry about that.

We’ll add some content there soon — and promise to try to be better in the future! Doh!

Can this really have been over a month ago!? Here is a little glimpse of behind-the-scenes goofiness before Leslie, Toby, Geo, & Jack recorded some guide vocals for our big single!

Thanks always to our dear friends at University of Chester, Kingsway Campus, Jim Mason, Ruth Dockwray, & Pamela Barnes! What a weekend!

FANTASTIC NEWS!!

Work in Progress has been awarded a grant from Oakdale Trust for £1,000! We also recently received a donation from Amanda Davies for £1,000 as well! A few of our members gathered in the garden this week to say a massive DIOLCH and THANK YOU!

Our sessions are *free* for our members so we rely on grants, donations, and fundraising to help us continue giving our members exciting experiences and opportunities.

We realise that you probably don’t watch ‘Sesame Street’ anymore (!!!) but they raise a good point: sometimes adults find it hard to make new friends. That’s where Work in Progress can help! Come along a Wednesday evening — you’ll make friends, try new things, and have loads of fun doing it. Wednesday evenings have never been so fun!

WHAT A DAY! There will be more photos and videos to come, but for now DIOLCH YN FAWR IAWN to the incredible team at University of Chester, Kingsway Campus: Ruth Dockwray, Jim Mason, Pamela Barnes, and their wonderful students. Thanks also to Little Peaches for spending time with us this week and helping us film some magical choreography.

And of course thanks to Jack Eagle for writing our beautiful song — it included EVERYTHING we wanted! Jack and Geo will also be featured on our track playing guitar and bass — and we’ll ALL be heard singing and playing percussion, too! There will also be so many other treats... watch this space!

Our mottos is ‘We are all a Work in Progress. Together we can do so much!’ — and this project is certainly proof of that! And when we come together it’s SO MUCH FUN!

There is a lot more work to do, and we will have more stories to share — but for now nos da, ffrindiau! ❤️💚💛💙
