Amazing goings-on at the messy play session - every Tuesday morning at Aspire Ryde

One of our volunteers got an award! Well done Meme!

Wow, both Aspire as an organisation and Meme have been named in the Ryde Town Council New Year’s Honours List.

Lovely that our community repaint project could help Alan from Sandown Community Association by donating paint to help do up a run-down shop turning it into a public/community Art Gallery - We love Aspires impact in the community.

Aspire Ryde have achieved Charity Excellence quality mark.

We would like to thank Quackers about Craft for their lovely donation. You will be missed.

Looking forward to welcoming Rob da Bank’s Music Club on Wednesday

Help with basic skills, applying for jobs and using computers begins again on Tuesday.

Free children's clothes - especially warm coats. Come along before 4 and collect what you need.

Free clothes, mainly girls' from new born to teenager, available in the café area tomorrow (Friday 4th) to anyone who would like them. Pass the message on :-)

How can we possibly thank all those who donated their time, cash, skills and gifts to provide Christmas Day lunch for over 50 people. Shanklin and Ryde Rotary, Isle Access, Ryde Lions, Bright Hill Funerals, Medina Foods and a host of individuals made Christmas a day to remember with joy. We are so grateful to all who contributed.

What a lovely welcoming place; lovely cuppa, cake and learned a new skill, perfect!

We came today for the breakfast and it was so so nice!!! All the food was delicious and all the staff were so friendly and more than happy to help. I will definitely pop in for a cuppa soon :) thank you xxx

This place is amazing, I'm proud to be apart of such a community focused group. I volunteer in the kitchen which provides daily lunches for all volunteers all of which are created from all donated food �

Thank you to the Aspire in Ryde had a great cooked breakfast with coffee with my girlfriend ( all you can eat for a fiver) on scooter weekend 2017. The people that work in there were friendly and cheerful. Would highly recommend it. Also the work they do in the community and workshops in the church it's self well done.

Last night I and 40 of my friends from EWPG had our Christmas Dinner Party at Aspire in Ryde. Aspire provided a wonderful evening for us, the food was good, the staff were efficient and friendly the table was beautiful and they went over and above what we had asked for by providing nibbles to begin with and chocolates (liqueur) at the end.

Aspire is a Community project and everything last evening was done by volunteers, the cooking, the waiting and the washing up.

I can thoroughly recommend Aspire as a venue for your party.

If your feeling low just come and sit it's peaceful and there's people to talk to or not if the case may be. Everyone works together even if it's just cleaning. The daily activities are worth coming too meeting new people great community project

I visited briefly and was amazed at this wonderful community project. What a great man behind it, well done Heath xx

Great night at Aspire last night. Excellent Christmas meal. Thanks so much to the chefs, waiters, waitresses and all behind the scenes who worked so hard. Volunteers you know!! xx

First visit yesterday to join in the Xmas wreath making. It was a great morning. They really went to a lot of trouble to ensure we all had enough supplies. Although a donation was welcome...it was pretty much free. Very well organised and attended and just a lovely experience. Well done!

Due health problems I needed some items to be removed from my home. No hassle arrived as planned and collected the items needed to be taken and were very kind and polite.

Aspire is fabulous! Very welcoming. Lovely cake. Kind people.....and they have a good children's play area....plus they sell very good paint!

Aspire is a relaxed stressed free and friendly environment either if your part of a group or not. Always a smile and a warm welcome in the cafe (fab cakes to). The staff are amazingly friendly and work very hard putting the activities together. Well done Aspire !!

Aspire Ryde is a place for Community and for Positivity, it really feels a special place. I have been volenteering since september and have met a extroadinary bunch of passionate and honest people who have encouraged and welcomed myself an all who pop in or give thier time. I am co founder of The AIMM Community Recording / Rehearsal Studio Project and to be part if this fantastic team really is one of my lifes greatest achievements. Yes Aspire Ryde will help to support, grow and encourage generations of young and old on the Island for as long as exsists and the positive impact on our communities can only be measured by smiles.

An inspirational Fabz place being set up by aspiring people. And on my doorstep. Thrilled! Will be doing my plays there so watch this space

A fantastic facility for Ryde Community...worth investing time and energy in. Huge admiration for those who have made this possible!!!!!

Very pleased to be slightly involved by supporting the "Young at Heart" Older persons social and luncheon club on Thursdays, looking forward to more and a great opportunity for so many initiatives to come together

A great place to congregate and BE a proper COMMUNITY taking responsibility, thanks
