The Wednesday Club started in January 1967 at the Princes Street United Reformed Church as a weekly club for people with learning disabilities who mostly lived in long stay hospitals and institutions. For some, the Wednesday Club was their only activity away from the hospital.

The Wednesday Club is now held at The Clare School, South Park Avenue, Norwich and is, run by a team that includes volunteers with disabilities, and provides a programme for around 40 people each Wednesday evening between 7pm and 9pm with a chance to meet with friends and take part in a range of different activities of their choosing. These include:

• Quizzes
• Bingo sessions
• Karaoke
• Arts and Craft activities
• Indoor sports
• Nintendo Wii games
• A women's group
• A men's group
• Tuck shop
• Raffles and games of chance
• Exercise and skills sessions
• Visiting speakers
• Barbecue, Christmas and Halloween parties
