Stories
Behind the scenes of the FitzRoy films
FitzRoy wants everyone to have a voice, so we were thrilled when the people we support agreed to tell their stories. In our new FitzRoy videos, they share how important the things many of us take for granted, are to them: independence, learning new skills, making friends, and having fun. The crew who made the films found working with the people we support a life-changing experience. This is what they said.
Generous donation from Waterlooville Golf Club
Steve Brewster, Seniors Captain of Waterlooville Golf Club, nominated FitzRoy as the chosen charity for his year as Captain. Steve rallied his senior members of Waterlooville Golf Club who together raised a fantastic £1750 through raffles and auctions.
