Rutwel Art Exhibition, Victoria Hall Oakham
A
Rutland group providing support for people with learning disabilities
has organised a special art exhibition to celebrate their first
anniversary.
RUTWEL, a group created by
Rutland County Council and based at Victoria Hall in Oakham, provides
opportunities for work, education and leisure activities.
The group was set up in October 2011 and is open every day of the working week, with as many as 10 people attending each day.
Staff
at RUTWEL help people gain employment, put themselves forward for
volunteering opportunities, as well as participate in education and
leisure interests.

Council Leader Roger Begy:
“Groups such as RUTWEL are not always the most high profile, but they
are some of the most important services that the council delivers. It’s
important we do all we can for those members of our community that need
that little bit of extra support. I’m delighted that the group has
gone from strength to strength during the last 12 months and wish them
every success in the future.”
Roger Begy added:
“I’d urge everyone to visit Victoria Hall this week and view the art on
display. It’s absolutely brilliant and I highly recommend it.”
An
exhibition of art work produced by RUTWEL members opened to the public
on Monday 1 October. It remains open until Friday 5 October, opening
each day between 10.00 and 4.00pm.
