Jigsaw celebrated its 25th birthday year between September 2024 and September 2025!

Jigsaw has made great strides in its first 25 years, creating supportive and enriching environments for our learners through Jigsaw CABAS School, JigsawPlus Adult Day Service and Jigsaw Enterprises, including Cafe on the Park and GARDENworks.  

Our 25th year focused on fundraising for a number of projects and key resources designed to benefit our learners – and our heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated and supported us in one way or another over the past year and more!  Every single contribution makes a difference and we appreciate it.

Our birthday year culminated in a spectacular 25th Birthday Gala Ball!  Held at Epsom Downs Racecourse, attendees were treated to music from the wonderful Derek Paravicini during a champagne reception before moving through to dinner.  The evening was hosted by Auctioneer, Kevin Durham, and funds were raised via a raffle, silent auction, live auction and pledges and, thanks to everyone’s extraordinary generosity, the evening raised over £128,000 for the charity.  Funds will be going towards outdoor sensory environments for learners and a range of other planned projects.  We look forward to sharing news on these all in due course.  Below are a few images from the evening with some thank yous from us all at Jigsaw!
