Several years before the beginning of Out of Hours Club Rutland, also known as OHCR two young men were encouraged to go out on Monday evenings to play pool in one of the local pubs supported originally by their parents, but this quickly changed to an age appropriate Personal Assistants.
Unfortunately, due to one of the young men's aspirations he had to give up his pub and pool sessions to concentrate on his university studies. This left a void in the other young man's life and he became stuck in a rut of never leaving his room in the evenings. So his mum approached a few other mum's, and they agreed to help her start a group catering for over 18 year olds in order for them to break the isolation so many of them felt and to begin doing what their peer group does, such as going to the pub, playing pool, going cinema etc. This would also give parents/carers the respite break they desperately needed and wanted.
In December 2014 the group met for the first time to go to a pantomime. This was a great success and those that went to the pantomime chose the group's name.
In January 2015 Out of Hours Club Rutland was launched. We met on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month but after 2 years, at the suggestion of one of the members this increased following a very short trial.
In January 2017 Out of Hours Club Rutland Cinema Group was formed. We meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month to watch a film of the young adults choosing mainly at the Showcase Cinema in Peterborough depending on the show times - this is where the members feel less stressed.
So we now meet three times a month!
In January 2019 Jacqui Darlington shared this story with Amander Meade, about how she became concerned about the social isolation of young people with additional needs in Rutland, and how the group was created to address this issue which was printed in the January 2019 Rutland Living Magazine http://www.bestlocalliving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/JAN-2019-E-MAG_10-1.jpg
