Our Story
In the beginning, the Fellowship was organised by thirty-seven people with various disabilities, who were full of enthusiasm to succeed and founded the Fellowship on 14 January 1949. The Fellowship purchased Astor Hall in January 1959 and the Fellowship club now had a permanent base.
The Fellowship supports our members who live in the community and residential care, all our members are supported by the Welfare and Activities Co-ordinator, along with the use of the Fellowship minibus for social activities throughout the year. We meet on the second Thursday of each month and there are additional activities throughout the year, such as Day Trips, Theatre trips, visits to organised events throughout Devon and Cornwall and many more, along with the Annual Lunch and Christmas Lunch.
