The tea time session begins at 4.00p.m. The aim of Sigma is also to encourage further integration into the Community and to foster friendship and comradeship as well as confidence building and encouraging participants to develop new skills dependant on their level of ability. The Group is staffed entirely by Volunteers, some are parents, some are carers or friends who support its aims. We offer support to parents, carers and residential services.
Sigma is self supporting, it receives no external funding.
Donations towards day to day running costs and equipment are made by those who attend the Group. Some Members choose to stay for tea and are transported to Greenhill from their Centres. 2.50 per week from Members using their own Transport. Fund-raising activities, some held in conjunction with Greenhill Resource Centre, together with donations from supporters of the Group, enable Sigma to purchase equipment and to undertake various activities and visits. As a result of a successful bid to the National Lottery Charities Board, two new facilities are available for the use of all Members.
