It's Trustees' Week, and we are celebrating the incredible people who help shape the future of Paul's Place.

Our trustees generously give their time, expertise and support to help our charity thrive. They bring new perspectives, provide guidance, ask important questions and help ensure we are making the biggest possible difference to the lives of adults with disabilities.

Their commitment helps us create more opportunities for our members and continue growing our impact.
Thank you to every one of our trustees for the passion, experience and dedication you bring to Paul's Place.

Could you be our next trustee?

We are currently recruiting new trustees to join our Board of Trustees. This is an opportunity to use your skills and experience to make a lasting difference to the lives of adults with physical disabilities.
We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in fundraising, property management and corporate partnerships; however, we are especially keen to hear from disabled people, family carers and others whose lived experience can help strengthen and diversify our Board.

Interested but not sure what's involved?

No previous trustee experience is required. Get in touch for an informal conversation. Comment on this post or email [email protected] . There is no obligation, just an opportunity to find out more about the role and whether it could be right for you.

Together, we can create even more opportunities for people with disabilities to live the lives they choose.

Think you could survive a night behind bars?

On Friday 27th November, we're taking over an entire wing of the world famous Shepton Mallet Prison for Jail & Bail: After Dark, and trust us, it's going to be a night to remember!

Yes, it's spooky. Yes, it's a real prison. But it's also about having a brilliant laugh, making memories and doing something completely different - all while raising vital funds to support local disabled adults.

You don't have to face your cell alone; grab your friends, choose your cellmate and get ready for a night of creepy corridors, prison stories, plenty of laughs and an experience you'll be talking about long after you've been released!

Ready to do your time for a good cause?

Paul's Place Vs Kendleshire Golf Club BOCCIA REMATCH

The rematch was on, and this time we were on Kendleshire Golf Club’s home turf.

With a makeshift Boccia court, a few creative interpretations of the rules and plenty of banter, it was always going to be a close one.

Kendleshire got off to a flying start and took the lead, but Paul’s Place weren’t giving up without a fight. After a seriously close game, we pulled it back to take the victory 16–12.

Which means Paul’s Place remain the Boccia champions!

And because one game clearly wasn’t enough, we finished with a round of Prize Boccia, competing for the really important stuff: c***r, chocolate and b**r.

It was a brilliant day, but there was an even bigger reason to celebrate. Kendleshire captain Andy has chosen Paul’s Place as the club’s charity to support this year, and they have already raised an incredible £8,000+ for us to date.

We’re incredibly grateful for their support, generosity and most importantly their friendship.

And we’re back behind the mics!

Yesterday we finished session 2 of 6 of our podcast coaching with our brilliant Patron, Ben Atkinson from Heart Radio.
Our members are learning everything from how to plan and structure an episode, what makes a good podcast, and how to tell a story, to the slightly more technical stuff… like what all those buttons actually do!
We’re not just learning how to make a podcast. We’re learning how to make OUR podcast.
Because the best bit is hearing our members get excited about sharing their stories, opinions, experiences and personalities, in their own words, in their own way and in their own voices. All whilst learning a new skill.
There’s still four sessions to go, so we’ve got plenty more to learn (and probably a few more buttons to press! 😂).
But we think something pretty special is taking shape…

Watch this space.

Seven comedians. One stage. And a whole lot of laughs, all in support of Paul’s Place.

Every single comedian gave their time completely free to help us raise money and awareness for the work we do supporting disabled adults.

We’re so grateful to each one of them, everyone who came along, and everyone who helped make the night such a success.

Proof that doing good doesn’t have to be serious business.

Thank you for helping us keep people living life to the full! Keep an eye out for more events coming soon!
